JavaCPC on Mac from Command Line

[Paulo Garcia]

Hi,


to make easier the development, I am trying to run JavaCPC from command line on my mac, passing the DSK file using the following command:
java -jar  /Applications/Emulators/JavaCPC_Desktop_2.9l/JavaCPC.jar --cpctype CPC464 --df0 ./animation.dsk --bootdrive df0 --desktop off
which actually works. However, since I am not in the JavaCPC folder, it insists to launch the Updater and download everything in the current folder. So I wonder if there is a way to avoid that other than run the command from the JavaCPC folder?


Thanks

I've not tried this and haven't the time to right now but would a solution not be to create a script that jumps to the JavaCPC folder and runs the program from there?

[Singaja]

Isn't a (ba)sh script enough to include cd dir prior to your execution line with args?

Maybe you could just remove Update.jar, then it shouldn't be able to update.

I`ll add parameter --noupdate or --nocheck to avoid that in next release....

The update.jar is also inside JavaCPC.jar, so deleting it causes nothing, because JavaCPC checks this file on every startup

So in other words, JavaCPC is an unstoppable force of evil that will stop at nothing to enslave humanity?

Well, I for one welcome our new byte-compiled overlords.

The --update flag is probably a good idea.


I am actually changing to the installation folder to avoid the update for now, but it complicates a bit since I have to pass the full path of the DSK as well.


Thanks

I rolled out update 2.9m
Please let JavaCPC check for updates...
(I removed the check for Update.jar, users can do this manually now in help menu, when something goes weird)

Works perfectly!


Thanks!
