build path errors on linux
Apr 28^th, 2007, 5:28pm

I hear you're pretty much on your own if you want to use Processing under Linux but I hope this is not the case

I am getting some errors from running make.sh - seems like locations of files are not being referenced properly, so I suspect that some of the paths in make.sh could be wrong? Here is my output:

elea:/home/kevin/processing/build/linux# ./make.sh

Done.

Looking into the make.sh script it seems that there is an inconsistency in referencing the dirs... occasionally I have the impression that there needs to be an extra "../" in some of the paths but I am not experienced enough in the layout to know. When was the last time this script was checked? Has anyone else built processing on linux themselves?

Thanks!
Kevin

i built the linux version from scratch just a couple days ago, and the script hasn't changed since then.

i think the problem is that the version of jikes included with processing is not compatible with your distro:
./make.sh: line 75: ../build/linux/work/jikes: cannot execute binary file

download and install jikes for your distro as per the linux section of the reference, and then re-try the build.

I am having a hard time finding instructions for jikes in any "reference"... could you point me in the right direction? Several searches have yielded nothing.

thanks, it built fine after removing processing's jikes and symlinking the debian one - I am running Debian on a 64 bit PPC (G5) and now I am having other issues. I realize this isn't your forte or your responsibility, but if you had any ideas about:

As far as I can tell at least by looking at Debian packages, libawt.so only comes for i386 architecture (I'm ppc) as a part of Sun's proprietary package... is there anyway to tell processing (or is it jikes??) to use another lib? I have a libjawt.so from my libgcj7-awt Debian package.

If you (or others) have any ideas or info it is much appreciated. I tried symlinking the libjawt.so as libawt.so but then I got another error about libfontmanager.so - it seems to really want to use Sun's proprietary java libs.. I will keep searching on this; I think I see part of the reason why linux is so difficult to support for the processing crew

thanks so much for the info, everything runs now with minimal complaints (it just whines about certain themes not being supported but as far as i can tell this doesn't affect processing)

however it is running a bit slowly, and on some runs it freezes on the first frame and won't redraw after that... will look into this and perhaps post again, at this point it could be an interfacing problem with the graphics card (ati radeon 9600) or any number of things... hard to tell when using a semi-bastard linux distro (as most ppc distros are plagued with little annoying problems)

coulda shoulda woulda bought a better x86 pc if i had known i wanted to use linux Wink

i've been looking into it and i can't seem to find any solutions... it runs incredibly slow on a lot of things; running a simple 2d perlin noise controlled motion doesn't get up above about 5 fps...

other programs run ok; it is really difficult to isolate the problems. the processing interface (typing, etc) is also sort of lacking in responsivity, typing is slightly awkward and reminds me of old days at the 286 when you could outtype the machine

have you ever heard of this kind of problem? is this something you think we can tackle, or would i be better off looking elsewhere?

Reply #11 - May 12^th, 2007, 10:15pm

Yes - this is a problem with java for ppc linux (the only available JRE at the moment is from IBM) which is apparently slow and buggy anyway according to several sources, whether or not it's 1.4 or 1.5. Ben or Casey might want to add this to any documentation since it seems like there are a few ppc linux users.

I am moving back home now and switching to my intel laptop; hopefully things will be much nicer there

Afishionado YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 5	Re: build path errors on linux Reply #12 - May 13^th, 2007, 5:45pm Owie. Yeah, it seems like the only way to get decent Java support on PPC is to run OS X. Unless...does anybody know if Processing runs well on Open Source VMs like Kaffe It might be worth a shot. Edit: It looks like you already tried that by accident, and it didn't work, so never mind. :-P William

I had a small problem building processing earlier, but I found a way to fix it and thought I could share it here.

When running make.sh for the first time, it gives lots of errors and it tries to write something to a place that doesn't exist.

So, to solve the problem:
/path/to/processing/build/linux: mkdir -p ../../core/bin/processing
/path/to/processing/build/linux: ./make.sh
