people another novice here!
winxp Home ed, p4, 2.6ghz, nvidia gf4, 1gig ram
jbuilder9 personal j2sdk1.4.2
now where do i install the
1 jogl.jar
2 jogl.dll
3 jogl_cg.dll
4 ant 1.5
5 antlr 2.72
then how do i run the demos from jbuilder or cant i? i tried following the instructions here but i got lost;
simple:
put the two dll’s into your WINDOWS/System32 folder.
In JBuilder when u make a new Project u will see a tab on the Project setup windows… i think its the window after u have named your project. the tab lets u add lib’s to your project. just add the jogl. if its not in your list of libs JBuilder has. then just say New and point to where it is on your harddrive.
should be all… and u is ready to rock… JBuilder 9 has a built in version of ‘ant’. i havent used it… no need to at the moment.
I just thought that I would pint out that Microsoft guidelines say not to put DLLs in system32. (If you do you can’t use the Windows logo - not that we care.)
Put the DLLs somewhere on Java’s library path. I think the extensions folder is fair game.
thanks, i dont have any errors any more when i compile but when i run it nothing happens. no error message, nothing. perhaps im just not familiar with jbuilder, ??? any one know how to run any of the demos? or the triangles tutorial?
Can’t comment on the demos but for compiling Jogl apps with JBuilder in general…
Since JBuilder uses an older JDK I suggest to use your system wide new JDK (1.4.2) for the following. Just copy the Jogl JAR and DLL into this main JDK (in its JRE directory):
Javasdk/Jre/bin/ : jogl.dll
Javasdk/Jre/lib/ext/ : jogl.jar
Then in your JBuilder menu “tools/config” do set the “config JDKs” to your above 1.4.2 JDK. That’s it. Compile and run Jogl appilcation from within JBuilder.
Of course running the application “manually” with the above JDK also works.
PS: If you don’t want to put the JAR and DLL to your JDK you still have to asure the DLL is known in the “java.library.path” (on Win32 this usually is “/.” plus your PATH system variable). Then in your JBuilder project’s properties enter a new “needed LIB” which points to the Jogl JAR file.
i have these in place already. im having trouble with the run configuration(the run project button) im not sure how to configure it. applet, application ? :-/
