Howto start in FreeBSD?

Technical Support & Bugs
1

Hi,
I managed to start another Java based program (Strange Eons) in FreeBSD, but can’t seem to do the same with Vassal. Anyone else using Vassal in FreeBSD?

-Strange Eons starts with “java -Xmx2g -javaagent:strange-eons.jar -cp strange-eons.jar strangeeons”
-Strange Eons works with openjdk11-jre

Describe what you’re trying to do and how it’s failing. The simplest way I would expect to be to run VASSAL.sh.

I extracted the VASSAL-3.6.6-other.zip and within that directory as root:
root@christoph-ghostbsd-pc:/home/christoph/VASSAL-3.6 # java VASSAL.sh
Error: Could not find or load main class VASSAL.sh
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: VASSAL.sh

VASSAL.sh is a shell script. You don’t run it using Java.

What you need to run from your command prompt is:

./VASSAL.sh

It was just that simple, thanks a million!
