Processing on Mac OSX 10.7 Lion ?

in General Discussion • Other • 2 years ago

I'm wondering if anyone has upgraded to Lion on the Mac yet and seen if Processing works on it. I see that there is apparently a program launch problem with the Arduino IDE (which is based on the Processing IDE, right?), but moving the app to the desktop solves it. Any such issues with the Processing IDE? I know there were some Java support issues in Lion but haven't kept track of the status of it.

Any help would be great.

Processing itself runs fine on 10.7. I did need to install java through the "Software Update" panel.

If you do work with video, though, you should be warned that Apple has removed a lot of the functions it used to provide for video. For me, that is resulting in an invalid memory access when I run some of the webcam samples. All the other samples I have tried work properly.

Thanks for the super fast response! That's good news, more or less. Luckily I don't have a current need for the video functions. Hopefully it won't stay a permanent problem though in case I ever want to.

But now I can take the plunge and try Lion out :) Thanks again.
