Ok so here’s the deal. I’m trying to figure out what’s wrong with loading jogl. This is for a plugin, so java.library.path is not always the same. So beforehand, I add the plugin directory path to java.library.path. I have it print out the paths, and so far so good:
String newLibPath = System.getProperty(“java.library.path”) + File.pathSeparator + libPath;
System.setProperty(“java.library.path”, newLibPath);
However when jogl loads, it says it cannot find jogl. This being strange, I try to move the libraries around. I put in this directory next (which was in java.library.path before i added the new directory):
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/JavaApplicationLauncher.framework/Resources
which is very naughty i know and can cause problems. but this time the library loaded just fine. I’ve double checked things here so many times. Now i’m sure I can just work with it in the framework directory to just develop the plugin, but if I want to release it, this is not acceptable. For some reason, it can find the library in that old path, but not at the new path I added. I also tried loading it like this:
String nativ = System.mapLibraryName(“jogl”);
System.load(libPath+"/"+nativ);
which works to load it, but then jogl does not detect it and uses System.loadLibrary(“jogl”) so it doesn’t work again.
another note, I tried immediately loading the library after I changed the path (I thought maybe the jogl loader had a different java.library.path property). This did not work, and it said it couldn’t find the library again. But as last time, when I moved it to a directory previously on java.library.path, it worked.
I tried puting the libraries at the root directory / and added that to the path instead, but it still would not load them.
please post any ideas you might have, this is getting very frustrating
