Installing on Mac OSX help

2003-07-09 22:17

Hello all -

 

I'm interested in using JasperReports for creating reports using MySQL data on my macOSX machine. Looking at Jaspers site, I can't seem to get the installation process (newbie to this type of app). Plus, I'm not sure if I need to install all the required additional software (xml, etc..) or not. If someone here could be so kind as to layout the installation steps on a Mac OSX box (and possibly the iReport frontend) it would be most appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance! - Josh

JasperReports works just fine on OS X. basically just add the jasperReports.jar file and the .jar files in lib/ dir to your class path.

 

I have not had much luck with iReport on OS X. It appears that there are some ui issues on the mac that prevent it from working properly yet. I haven't had the time to mess with it and file bug reprts.

Thanks Jason -

 

Actually I have been discussing the iReport issues on OSX with the developer and he is working on a fix. If interested, either check the forum for iReport or I can post here when he fixes it.
