[Opensim-dev] OpenSim on Mac G5

[Hurliman, John]

openjpeg-dotnet.dll is actually unmanaged C code. It has functions added to it to make it easier for .NET code to communicate with it, hence the -dotnet naming convention instead of the normal openjpeg.dll. Somehow in the conversation I overlooked that this was a real PPC machine, not an Intel Mac. We don't have a mapping for a 64-bit PPC machine because you are (assumedly) the first person to ever try to use openjpeg-dotnet with one of those. We'll need to update the Makefile to produce a custom named .so for that platform and have you compile it. The OpenMetaverse.dll.config also needs to be updated with the new mapping.

(This is why we need a managed solution for JPEG2000!)

And a tiny bit more and this time it isnt a big cut and paste. Here is the output of file on this Mac G5 running Fedora 9 Linux on the openjpeg-dotnet.dll and RAIL.dll. And thanks to Dahlia for reminding me about "file". I was surprised to see it actually seems to understand a .NET executable.

[ckrinke at labserver2 bin]$ file openjpeg-dotnet.dll
openjpeg-dotnet.dll: PE32 executable for MS Windows (DLL) (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
[ckrinke at labserver2 bin]$ file RAIL.dll
RAIL.dll: PE32 executable for MS Windows (DLL) (console) Intel 80386 32-bit Mono/.Net assembly
[ckrinke at labserver2 bin]$

It is puzzling why file doesnt say the openjpeg-dotnet.dll is a Mono/.Net assembly. I dont know if this bears on the login crash I am seeing or not.
