build & run on linux x86_64
Sep 23^rd, 2008, 12:07pm

this patch is obsolete now. please ignore it.

Hi,

The following patch makes processing build & run on linux x86_64 platform. The idea is to use native java runtime and executable. IMHO shipping and using platform specific binaries isn't really necessary here.

From: John Lee <john_lee@openmoko.com>
Date: Tue, 23 Sep 2008 16:42:53 +0800
Subject: [PATCH] use local rt libs and java executable to build and run. this enables
processing on platforms other then i686.

Should I get the source and recompile using your instructions? if yes where does the patch apply? I have never compiled processing from source so I am a bit new to the thing. thanks for the help. lluj.

Hi again,

I may be wrong, but after trying to apply the above patch I got the impression that it doesnt fit the current version of the script make.sh.

So after quite a few recompiling, I managed to make processing 1.0 work under my ubuntu intrepid 64bit machine. so here is a shell script for anyone interested. Indeed recompiling and replacing jogl native libraries was the answer. And of course disabling (at least in my case) any visual effects for the desktop.

Code:


#!/bin/sh

# first of all you should check out processing from the svn server
svn co svn://processing.org/trunk/processing
# svn co -r XXX  svn://processing.org/trunk/processing
# if this doesn't work install svn using 'sudo apt-get install subversion'

#make sure you have the right java sdk
sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk

sudo update-alternatives --config java   
# and choose Sun Java 6

#make sure you have the jogl x64 amd native libraries in the /opengl/library
wget http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-1.1.1/jogl-1.1.1-linux-amd64.zip
unzip jogl-1.1.1-linux-amd64.zip
cp jogl-1.1.1-linux-amd64/lib/* processing/opengl/library/.

#run make.sh once
#this creates the necessary work folder
cd processing/build/linux/
./make.sh

# and exits with request to link the java sdk in the work folder
#mv ./work/java ./work/java.backup 
ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun   ./work/java

# run make.sh again which should compile processing
./make.sh

# and then start processing...
./run.sh &

# here you can test the openGL examples and if you have a blinking screen 
# then you should disable visual effects under system->prefs->appearance

There still might be a better way to do it...

mys YaBB Newbies Offline Posts: 2	Re: build & run on linux x86_64 Reply #4 - Feb 2^nd, 2009, 10:24am I am running Ubuntu Inpredid64 on an Intel Quad-Core. A quick fix for me was to install the 32bit java (e.g. ia32-sun-java6-bin) instead of the 64bit version. Runs smooth without desktop effects.
