How to install jogl on linux step by step?
I am a noob.
I’ve been working on it all day long and didn’t succeed.
I tried using all tutorials I’ve found, and still haven’t succeed.
Thanks.
Depends on your IDE, but assuming you’re just using a plain-text editor:
-
download the JOGL and GlueGen binaries/JARs for your platform (gluegen files already come with the JOGL download)
-
extract the files to wherever you like, but don’t put them in the same place as the Java or your Linux libs directories (I’m gonna use /somedir/jogl for these steps)
-
when compiling your Java source files, be sure to include the JOGL and GlueGen JARs:
javac -cp /somedir/jogl/jogl.jar;/somedir/jogl/gluegen-rt.jar ...
- when running your java program, include the JARs in the classpath and include the libraries (SO’s) by setting the java.library.path property to the location of these files:
java -cp /somedir/jogl/jogl.jar;/somedir/jogl/gluegen-rt.jar -Djava.library.path=/somedir/jogl ...
I think if you’re using Java 6, you can simplify the classpath parameter to just -cp /somedir/jogl/*.jar
