Skype4Java via Scala on Mac OS

Question

I'm running Mac OS 10.6, Java 1.6_17, Scala 2.8.1 final. I'm attempting to make a simple Skype call using Skype4Java by doing the following:

$>export JAVA_OPTS=-d32

$>scala -classpath .:./skype/release/skype.jar

scala> com.skype.Skype.makeCall("echotest")

I'm getting the error

"invalid attempt to access memory at location 0x0 ... bus error". 

Anybody else experience this and find a solution?

Note: I'm able to use this api perfectly fine by invoking one of the samples when I run it using command line java. Attempting to execute the same sample using command line scala fails with the error above.

Well, what's the simplest example available? There might just be something in it that you are missing with that example above. – Ento

hmm, makeCall() is a pretty simple example. I could look for methods from the api that do less -- maybe just look at the contacts list or something. – Salpingotomy

Try object Test { def main(args:Array[String]) { ... } } object syntax, compile and then run with scala -cp ... Test. Also try with java -cp ... Test where scala-library.jar is added to the classpath. The REPL does certain things that may interfere with shared lib loading. – Majordomo

Yeah, in my note above I said that I was able to run the sample successfully using command line java (was using -cp). Same applies for the simple example you've listed. – Salpingotomy

Answer 1

Try object Test { def main(args:Array[String]) { ... } }
