Hi all, > Jens did the initial port to brew and currently maintaining it.
Actually it's not been me, I just somewhat took over updating the version number [1]. Anyway, I was already looking into the issue. The problem is rather an "upstream" issue, as the `basexhttp` script expects the BaseX folder to be named `basex`, but in homebrew it is renamed to the version number (here: `7.9`, also see the directory structure posted by the OP, I left the full quote below). `basexhttp`, line 11 [2] already is in the basex directory, steps up one level in the filesystem to descend a `basex` folder again. I don't quite get what the reason is, my guessing is that while refactoring the run files [3] the directory structure was changed. Formerly, the core seems to be stored in `basex-core` (I don't remember that any more), and this line was necessary and reasonable. Furthermore, it is only used to pass some `$BXCORE/target/classes" parameter and the same lib folder already passed through `$BX`. 1 I see three possibilities to resolve the issue: - Fix the BaseX run script and remove `$BXCORE` completely, if my guessing above is correct - Change the `$BXCORE` line so it can deal with the BaseX directory being named something else than `basex` - Modify the homebrew package file to keep an `basex` folder otherwise I'd strongly propose either doing (1) or (2), as renaming the root directory is nothing to be unexpected and might also be an issue to other platforms and/or users.
