Mac install fails

[barbeau]

From https://code.google.com/p/gtfs-osm-sync/issues/detail?id=17:

---

When installing on Mac OS 10.6.8, I get as far as step 7 of 9, where it quits with the error:
Error executing
/bin/chmod +x /Applications/GO-Sync/GO-Sync/bin/compile

Note that there is no 'bin' directory in /Applications/GO-Sync/GO-Sync/ when I check afterwards.

---

I'm thinking this has to do with any POSIX environment and not just MacOS. Rationale: installer seems to be using a hardcoded \ separator for directories, resulting in failed installs on any operating system not stuck in the 1970s.

---

running the jar file directly also shows up the hard coded path separators:

Any progress on this?

@pichot Unfortunately not on our end. PR's graciously accepted :).

I cloned this program with macOS Sierra 10.12.5. I used brew to install maven, brew install maven and the program compiled and runs more or less correctly.

[barbeau]

Thanks @3vivekb! Can you define "more or less correctly"?

[3vivekb]

1. I can never seem to read zipped gtfs with my Mac. I need to unzip them first. (Haven't tested on Windows yet)
2. VTA GTFS fails (though other gtfs files do work) App closes when loading gtfs file #16

Perhaps I should have just said it works?

I used homebrew to install maven, but it now appears that the latest version may no longer work with this plugin. See error that occurs when command mvn install in the Go_Sync directory is attempted. Any recs?

[james2432]

either the source is targetting java 1.5 or you have java 1.5 installed and need a minimum of 1.6

[ehowington]

@james2432 - any recs on how to rectify this situation? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling java via homebrew and get the same error. Here's the version I'm running

You can try to change L44 and L45 to 1.6

Can't guarantee it will work thought, I'm not familiar how homebrew is packaged. There is something in the source code that is telling your compiler(java 9) to compile to the 1.5 standard(java5)
