 A MacOS port of the JNI library has been made available by a user. In order to run the jar packages generated with the SDK under MacOS the library file [[http://www.ztex.de/downloads/libusbJava.jnilib|libusbJava.jnilib]] must be copied to the working directory. **Warning: This file is a user contribution. Use it at your own risk.**
-Note that this file only supports the 32-bit OS X Java Runtime - if you are running a 64 bit Intel system with full 64-bit kernel, then you are probably defaulting to the 64-bit Apple Java Runtime. This will not accept the 32-bit .jnilib above. A workaround is to use the /Applications/Utilities/Java Preferences.app in Snow Leopard and later to tell OS X to use 32-bit Java.
+Note that this file only supports the Intel Platform (Universal Binary i386 and x86_64) - if you are running an old PowerPC system obviously an x86 binary will not work, you have to compile a version suitable for your system yourself.
-A better solution is to install the libusb_compat port from MacPorts and then compile the libusbJava SDK source using the catfish Makefile. This will produce both 32-bit and 64-bit (if your system supports it) JNI library files, which can either be installed into the system or simply copied into the folder used for ZTEX Java applications.
