Processing on the One Laptop per Child XO
Mar 14th, 2008, 1:16am  
It is perfectly possible to run Processing on the OLPC XO!

I wrote a brief description of the steps required here:

http://www.villamil.org/?p=106

The description is brief, because other than installing Java and a proper window manager, all you have to do is decompress the Processing .tar and run the script.

Performance is OK - not super fast, but 2D graphics render pretty well. Even 3D graphics work, at 800x600 resolution.

I would like some help on getting the built-in camera and microphone working, at some point.

hi gpvillamil

i followed your instructions (as far as i can tell) but i am getting an error, both trying to run it under sugar and under xfce:

----
It appears that the version of Jikes distributed with Processing cannot properly run on this system.

Possible solutions:

+ If you already have Jikes installed on your system, you may just need to remove the version that is included with Processing.

+ You probably just need to track down a version of Jikes that will work with your distribution.

+ You may need to install the rpm/package for compat-libstdc++

------ etc. etc.

i tried "yum install compat-libstdc*" but kept getting an error for that too (<urlopen error -3, temporary failure in name resolution')

any thoughts?

Hi,
thanks for your help with installing Processing on the XO.
Accessing the the XO's camera is pretty simple if you are using OpenCV.
