Processing on YDL (PPC Linux)
May 8th, 2006, 4:29pm  
Has anyone used processing on Linux in a PPC. I need to do some development in YDL and need to use Processing there. I wanted to know if anyone had successfully gotten it to work, and if you did, are you using it with blackdown or jikes?

I was able to sussessfully install processing on ppc-linux (YDL). I compiled jikes for ppc first and replaces the jikes in processing/build/linux/dist with this. And in the make.sh instead of using ../../build/linux/work/java/bin/java to run anrlr I used java from blackdown 1.3

Also in the processing script in the build directory I modified it to use the backdown java.

However when I tried to launch the run.sh script which calls the processing script, a gui box comes up with a message that says I need to upgrade to a version of java >=1.4 to run processing. Unfortunately to my best knowledge there is no version of java > 1.3.2 that works on ppc linux as yet.

Is there a way for me to get the source for an older  version of processing that will run with java 1.3? Do any of the BETA version run with java 1.3?

Thanks.

sorry, we had to drop 1.4 support in the beta releases, it was just too many java versions to support and we wanted to make use of some 1.4 features.
