x3d-edit on OSX?

Ruth Aylett

2004-10-10, 11:16 pm

Has anyone successfully run x3d-edit on OSX? I'm stuck right now - have
installed but not sure how to run.

When I invoke it using source x3d-edit.sh from a csh terminal window I get:
csh: XEENA_HOME=.: Command not found.
csh: export: Command not found.
csh: PROXY_SETTINGS=-DproxySet=false: Command not found.
csh: export: Command not found.
csh: JAVA_HOME: Undefined variable.

Wrong shell? And how/where do i set the missing environment variabels? Any
hints gratefully accepted.

Right. Sounds like bourne shell. Get bash from http://www.gnu.org/

In csh you need to set enviroment variables with "setenv"

setenv VARIABLE something

is the same as sh syntax of

VARIABLE=something
export VARIABLE

so long

OK, now I am using bash and I have successfully invoked Xeena using
xeena.sh at the bottom of this posting.

But then I get the error message:

I can see that the filename for the dtd has been wrongly concatenated - it
is looking at
/www.web3d.org/x3d/content/www.web3D.org/TaskGroups/x3d/translation/x3d-compromise.dtd
when the dtd is actually at
www.web3D.org/TaskGroups/x3d/transl...-compromise.dtd

But I can't see where this is set in xeena.sh and am not sure where else
to look. Any suggestions?

Yeah... ask IBM:)
Seems someone malformed an URL.
This

at java.net.URL.openStream(URL.java:913)

means that it tries to open url but supposes it's local file, since it's
not prefixed with http:// - plainly a bug. Don't know how it works on
other OSes though... should end with MalformedURLException. In fact,
this is a usual method to guess protocols: try this, exception, try
that, exception...
Workaround - get that dtd and put it where it's expected.

In the header of the XML file or in the DTD itself ?

xeena do not know anything about web3d...

Thanks for your help everyone - I've finally got Xeena to load thougb
apparently not with the X3d interface correctly installed yet.

In case any other OSX user wants to get this version working, here are the
changes I made so far:

1.In x3d-edit.sh
a) Add lines defining where java is:
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/Home
export JAVA_HOME

b)
Change
source /IBM/Xeena/xeena.sh -root X3D -dtd
www.web3D.org/TaskGroups/x3d/transl...-compromise.dtd

to

source /IBM/Xeena/xeena.sh -root X3D -dtd
/www.web3D.org/TaskGroups/x3d/translation/x3d-3.0.dtd

This is because the original references a dtd that no longer exists.

All the same, I still don't seem to have an X3d interface, so maybe this
still isn't right.

2. In the copy of xeena.sh supplied with Xeena (and not the one in the x3d
tree)
a)Add lines to register location of Xeena:
XEENA_HOME=/Ibm/Xeena
export XEENA_HOME
b) Comment out the lines relating to Java 1.1 and remove comments from the
Java 2 lines below this

Comparing the unix .sh files with the Windows ,bat files supplied, there
are still some other differences and i am assessing these in the hope I
will get the X3d interface correctly loaded into Xeena.

Maybe literally no other Unix user is using X3d-ed - is it orphan software?
