Getting HomePod software to work on 10.7 / Intel only?


does remember homepod 2003/2004 or so?

it's wifi/ethernet mp3 player (linux) connects server software run on mac. reads itunes xml library file , can play music through built-in speakers or rca plugs or optical out, etc. has lcd display , usb port.

problem is, company macsense went out of business years ago (the device based on java media-server middleware platform called "gloo", supposed become popular in embedded devices). server software available in powerpc binaries, since it's java think it's launcher/wrapper powerpc, java should platform-independent.

so, it's impossible run on 10.7 lion in current state:

mac-pro:bin user1$ ./audiolibrary
usage: ./audiolibrary { console | start | stop | restart | dump }
mac-pro:bin user1$ ./audiolibrary restart
stopping gloo audio library...
gloo audio library not running.
starting gloo audio library...
launch of "wrapper" failed: powerpc architecture no longer supported.



i've attached folder software in it. gui app awful. believe have use select itunes xml file when starting app first time, after don't bother using (edit pref/conf file manually , launch command line using syntax in above example).

there possibility of making intel-compatible program? have old powerpc machine if wants me testing.

help, , thanks! :d
