Superelvis

sthorsen · October 6, 2004, 7:31pm

I can’t make superelvis run with webstart. I’ve been able to make other lwjgl run on my computer so I don’t know what the problem is. Here the error

General:

An error occurred while launching/running the application.

I’m running WINXP on my laptop which has a mobility radeon 9000 graphics card. I’ve got the same problem on my stationary computer that runs WINXP and has a GeForce 3 Ti200 graphics card.

What could be wrong?

At the bottom of your stack trace you have the line

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Looks to me like you have a jar file missing, or a class within a jar is missing, or the code has a typo in it, and is looking for an incorrect class file in the reflection code.

Okay. So what you’re saying is that it is probably not my fault. I’ll report it as a bug. Are you listening prince_c? (you made superelvis, right?)

princec · October 7, 2004, 9:13am

I’m here! Haven’t figured out what your problem is though You haven’t gone and installed LWJGL binaries / jars in any funny locations have you?

Cas

sthorsen · October 7, 2004, 12:58pm

Actually I think I have. When I initially tried to get lwjgl up and running I added a lot of things to my class path and copied different jars and binaries to different locations on my hard drive. Could it possibly help do remove this garbage?

princec · October 7, 2004, 1:35pm

Hahaaa! Yes Please remove ALL LWJGL BINARIES. They should never be installed anywhere other than your in your projects. To refer to the LWJGL binaries you should be using the -Djava.library.path= switch.

Cas

sthorsen · October 8, 2004, 2:13pm

And after removing the binaries the game works perfectly! Nice game by the way!

princec · October 9, 2004, 7:38am

Thx 8) Will be released in time for Christmas.

So what you are saying here is if I am using JCreator and have the lwjgl binaries on my drive, referenceing thru jcreator. I create my jar, then sign all of them, and make my jnlp. I am getting the same error he was getting running my own app thru webstart. I have the binaries for lwjgl in an lwjgl folder on my dev machine. Should I not do that?

My app runs fine on numerous machines but when called thru webstart it flops.

princec · October 19, 2004, 6:06pm

Remembered the java.library.path=. property for Webstart?
