Failure to start when running on MacOS

[jamesoly]

I'm running OpenJDK 17.0.5 on MacOS 13.6.6. From a fresh clone of the quip repo, I am unable to start any of the examples successfully. The process quits during startup, as shown here:

MacBook-Air:quip joly$ cd example_games/sounds/
MacBook-Air:sounds joly$ lein deps
MacBook-Air:sounds joly$ lein run
WARNING: abs already refers to: #'clojure.core/abs in namespace: quil.core, being replaced by: #'quil.core/abs
Execution error (ClassNotFoundException) at jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader/loadClass (BuiltinClassLoader.java:641). com.apple.eawt.QuitHandler

After a little research, it appears this is an issue with Processing 3 that is fixed in Processing 4. When I tried with the latest quil library, I was able to run all the examples successfully using [quil "4.3.1563"].

Would you update quip to use a recent quil version that uses Processing 4? I could try submitting a pull request if that would be helpful, but locally it was just updating the project.clj dependency.

Oh wow, thanks for spotting this, I'll try and fix this this evening.

I should probably but in something that checks for out of date deps.

@jamesoly I've update the project deps, version 2.0.6now ses the lates version of Quil, and I see processing 4 being pulled in too.

I don't have a Mac to tets this on, so if you could let me know if it works I can close the issue.

I tried all the examples, and they now all start and run fine on my Macbook. I found a slight issue where sometimes I had to quit the example twice before it fully stopped the program, but that's a minor annoyance (and only on shutdown). The library is usable, which is the biggest thing.

I think you can close the issue. Thanks for working on this.

Awesome, thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Let me know if you end up making anything with it 🙏 ❤️
