ok, how do I set up xith3d
The scripts don’t seem to be written correctly, I get:
patm1987@linux:~/Documents/Java/xith3d/xith3d/demo> ./runcubelinux
Usage: java [-options] class [args…]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args…]
(to execute a jar file)

where options include:
-client to select the “client” VM
-server to select the “server” VM
-hotspot is a synonym for the “client” VM [deprecated]
The default VM is client.

-cp <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
-classpath <class search path of directories and zip/jar files>
              A : separated list of directories, JAR archives,
              and ZIP archives to search for class files.
-D<name>=<value>
              set a system property
-verbose[:class|gc|jni]
              enable verbose output
-version      print product version and exit
-showversion  print product version and continue

I feel like a complete idiot about this, and whenever I run other examples, com.xith3d can’t be found

I placed all the libs in my j2sdk/libs dir
note: I’m using suse 9, j2sdk 1.4.2-b28, and eclipse

#2

Did you follow the instructions here: http://xith.org/installing.php ?

Will.

Thanks, I knew it was something simple like that

#4

hmm, must’ve done something wrong:

patm1987@linux:~/Documents/Java/xith3d/xith3d/demo> java com.xith3d.test.CubeTest
starting frame speed test

and I have nothing but a blank window, get the same errors whatever I run

#5

can we have a little info please on your system?

Have you updated your graphics card drivers (ie. opengl)?

Can you find and run the program “glxinfo” and paste the results please?

Also the version of java (ie. “java -version”)

We can’t help you if we don’t know what hardware and software you are running!

Will.

thanks for your help

Change your DefaultDepth from 16 to 24 in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4. Restart the X-Server after that. If this helps I’ll add this to the FAQ.

cool, it works after changing the color depth
thanks alot, now I can start messing with xith
