DevIL on linux

OpenGL Development
#1

I’m having problems having devIL load his native libraries :-\ , I have read on the lwgl wiki and on the lwgl forum that this is a known problem on macOS, but it was fixed on 0.99.

I’m using lwgl v0.99, configured as an user library on eclipse, with native libraries set for each jar, but i still get this error

org.lwjgl.LWJGLException: Could not load devil library.
	at org.lwjgl.devil.ILNative.nCreateIL(Native Method)

when i run the code for the 6th nehe tutorial loading a texture.

dont, it’s an issue with the devil release in that it isn’t statically compiled. nomberR has been looking for a solution but so far it involves linking the lib manually. He hasn’t found a solution for it on Mac either - so the current way to do it, is to ensure that the support libs are installed - bit annoying distribution wise - we are looking for people to help solving the issues.
