I finally got time to look at the Vice problem and might have found a solution.

First of all, the bug seems to have nothing to do with Kick Assembler. A simple test program in a few lines can trigger it. Seems like it is Vice and Java on OSX El Capitan that don't like each other. I made a little test program that start up 4 programs, one of them is Vice, and the only one crashing is Vice. Vice is run with no parameters, so it can't be a half written .prg file or breakpoint file that makes it crash.

I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it, but OSX complains about Vice using some deprecated libraries on each startup:

1. "using the deprecated Carbon Component Manager for hosting Audio Units. Support for this will be removed in a future release. Also, this makes the host incompatible with version 3 audio units. Please transition to the API's in AudioComponent.h"

2. "The gestalt selector gestaltSystemVersion is returning 10.9.1 instead of 10.11.1. This is not a bug in Gestalt -- it is a documented limitation .Use NSProcesssInfo's operatingSystemVersion property to get correct system version number."

I guess there are timing issues involved, since the bug come and goes.

However I managed to tweak it to work, atleast it seems so (you never know for sure with timing issues involved). Explicitly redirecting the stdout and errout seems to make a difference. THERE IS A NEW VERSION ON THE WEBSITE NOW. Try downloadling it, and if you get the error then send the file 'ExecuteOutputLog.txt' to me.

Does Kickass allow for using parametric memory block labels? I need to save series of prg files with filename and suffix like 001 002 003. Is fixed string value is the only option? Whatever I try, I get block with label 'Unnamed' ;)

Any Vice-Guys here who can tell if there is a log that could cast some light on why Vice exits just after launching?

the OSX port is currently unmaintained and subject for deletion - the VM we are using to at least keep it in a state that it compiles is running 10.8 (mountain lion) for that matter. anything after that.... no idea, noone cares apparently. there is no log other than what is printed to console for that matter :)
PS: anyone who is interested in keeping the OSX port alive is invited to freenode #vice-dev :)

Say what? I bet there are a lot of us using OS X as the preferred weapon of choice.
If VICE wasn't on OS X, I really wouldn't know what to do :-(
Guess I'll be joining #vice-dev... Anyone care to join me?

PS. I recently submitted a patch for bug #637 (Keyboard presses cause lag in Vice for MacOS) and reported some other stuff while at it.

I'm sure both me and Mr.Sid can contribute, being Cocoa-developers... :)

I can't really contribute to the coding part of this, for various reasons, but being a mac user (10.10.5) I could at least do some testing if needed.

Quote: Hi, A couple of questions..

How are you guys experiencing the Vice-early-exit bug under El Capitan? Do you always get it or is it only sometimes? Right now it seams to me its only first time after a restart of the OS and I never get it when running from Eclipse.

Perhaps some timing issues are involved. If Vice need some info given by java (environment settings? Startup dir?) and java is terminating before vice has read those, it might cause Vice to crash. Any Vice-Guys here who can tell if there is a log that could cast some light on why Vice exits just after launching?


Run it through dtruss (https://opensourcehacker.com/2011/12/02/osx-strace-equivalent-d..) and check if there is some active exit or a crash. It might try to open a resource that it can't find (-1 on open()) that you'll see etc.

Jammer: Could you post the line you use to run KickAss. That would make it easier to see whats going on.
