Unable to install on macosx

[javadba]

The javacpp-presets is not installing cleanly on os/x. This is a prerequisite for using SparkNet on mac.

The page https://github.com/amplab/SparkNet/blob/master/doc/creating-jars.md is for ubuntu and centos only.

The following page is apparently the one to follow:

https://github.com/bytedeco/javacpp-presets/wiki/Build-Environments

However the command

bash cppbuild.sh install

ended up with a tar corruption error after an hour of compilation.

So if anyone successfully builds on os/x it would be appreciated to update the above documentation.

fyi I have narrowed down the javacpp-presets build issue to a corrupted version of libpng-1.6.17.tar.gz.

I downloaded the file manually from http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/repo/pkgs/libpng/libpng-1.6.17.tar.gz and am now re-running

bash cppbuild.sh install

Let us see whether this allows further progress.

The installation is challenging. I need to troubleshoot missing files . e.g.

p>The requested URL /project/boost/boost/1.57.0/boost_1_57_0.tar.gz was not found on this server.

So then the solution is to find the file manually.

Did it end up working for you? There is now a new release of JavaCPP, if we switch to that it should also fix your problem!

The earlier javacpp version used by SparkNet no longer can be built. So if SparkNet has migrated/upgraded that would be good news. I will pull latest from trunk and see what happens.
