serial on AMD64
Apr 4th, 2007, 9:30pm  
Hi
Is there an AMD64 port of the .so for the serial port?  I get an error saying its the wrong one! Not very helpful.  Is it possible for me to rebuild?
thanks
steve

ah.
Ok last post a bit unhelpful by me - this is for Ubuntu on AMD64 (dual core) system

1. download rxtx
2. compile and install (might need to sudo)
3. remove librxtxSerial.so from processing/libraries/serial/library

You can now use the serial port in presetn/play mode via processing ... carry on if you want to be able to export application, or use an existing application

4. replace with librxtxSerial-2.1-7.so which should have been installed in /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/jre/lib/amd64 - rename this to plain old librxtxSerial.so

seemed to work for me at any rate!

can you be any more specific about step 1? I found www.rxtx.org but can't seem to download from there. Perhaps their site is having problems? I used CVS to get the source but I got stuck trying to build it (./configure didn't succeed).
