MacOSX support

[WolfgangFahl]

Today I experimented a bit with the https://github.com/WolfgangFahl/edsdk4j fork with intention to get MacOSX support running. Unfortunately it looks the latest 3.4 ESDK is not compatible with the current Java code. Regenerating the wrapper-classes also didn't quite work.

The User32.peekMessage approach probably would have to be totally reworked for OSX. What else would have to be done?

hi.

maybe you could try to start with an old version and without regenerating the wrapper classes.

message handling is almost automatic on osx. to get the main ui loop going all you need to do is create a jframe (you can destroy it again immediately).

i'm not sure how much jna can do in this regard, but i think you need to switch the calling conventions also.

Thanks for the comment. So far things have been pretty frustrating. On Mac OSX a 64 bit library is mandatory but I couldn't get this working with JNA yet. So I am using a Windows Virtual machine to test the latest SDK and JNA and that also doesn't work yet. I am now intending to do another fork and do a more test first and step by step approach.

i tried your fork with no success yesterday.
just curious: did you go through the (sparse) notes in readme.txt?

[WolfgangFahl]

Thanx for looking into this Hansi. No - I didn't read the readme.txt and wiki notes when I started. Currently the 64 bit library crashes on Mac OSX at _ZTV13CMacIOManager+0x10.

I started a new fork and I am now developing in parallel on a Windows 7 virtual machine and my Mac OS 10.9.5 main machine. See https://github.com/BITPlan/edsdk4j/wiki/NewHome for my comments on what I am currently doing. If you give me access to the main repository I could merge the results carefully.

hey!

cool to see you're progressing.
sorry i don't have time to help out at the moment.
i'm going to give you write access to this repo. can you push to a "mac" or "dev" branch (or whatever you like to call it)?

[kritzikratzi]

ps. sorry, one more thing: i started the project, not yeroc (for a project i did for benetton back then). not sure why the first commit says "unknown".
