building jogl on windows

OpenGL Development JOGL Development

I’m trying to build jogl on a Windows 2000 machine. CLASSPATH is not set, but the build complains that it is, and is finding JOGL jars.

Anything else, besides “set CLASSPATH=”, that I should do? I did have some jars I downloaded from the main jogl site, but I renamed those. I’m not getting past the problem yet.

thanks

I got past that issue–I think I had some other jar files from running demos.

I’ve been doing other things, but am back to trying to build jogl on Windows 2000. My build is failing now (I am trying “ant win32.vc6”), and I think the error is an antlr error, where it can’t:
“find/copy importVocab file C:\jogl\src\net\java\games\gluegen\cgram\GnuCTreeParserTokenTypes.txt”

  • Are people building jogl, to keep up with any fixes (I assume there are some?) since September?
  • Is the above problem a symptom of a previous failure I’m missing?
  • Are there recent Windows builds on the net somewhere?
  • Is there a way to clean the build? Do I just remove the build folder or its contents? Can I rebuild with a different target (win32.vc7) in the same folder?

Thanks,
andy

There are a couple fixes since september. With Ken off helping on 1.5 the pace is a little slower. I really need to send in the stupid developer form. I don’t uses vc6 but I had a similar problem with gcc. I think it is a path issue, but I don’t remember how I fixed it. To clean a build type: ant clean

While I’m replying to myself, I’ll answer this one. It is the same problem that came up in another recent forum post: I was using the latest version of ant, 1.6. When I downloaded the version mentioned in the building instructions, it worked fine.

I guess I usually assume “version X or greater” if instructions don’t say that you should not use the latest version, but the directions really do say to use 1.5.3.

So, anyway, I can build fine now with ant 1.5.3.
