HELP! my libraries dont work!
Mar 26th, 2009, 12:03pm  
Im somewhat new to processing and am having problems getting my libraries to show up. Im on a Mac and using Processing 1.0.

Ive put the .jar files in a folder named "Libraries". then I put the "Libraries" folder inside the sketchbook folder (eg: ../Processing/myProject/libraries)
at first this worked. Then I added new libraries to other projects in their respective "Libraries" folders, and now nothing works.

Can someone offer the definitave last word on this issue.

most appreciatively,
AndrewT

all the libraries has to be in a folder called libraries in your sketchbook folder. the librarie itself has to be in a folder called "the libraries name" for example "controlP5" "unlekker" and so one. in there is a folder called library. but normally you download a zip file and the folder strukture already exists so you only have to unpack it to your libraries folder in your sketchbook folder... so just unpack the zip files into your
(eg: ../Processing/libraries) folder and it should look like this then
(eg: ../Processing/libraries/unlekker/...)

If you want to add a .jar file to a single project, you put it in a "code" subfolder, e.g. Processing/MySketch/code/foo.jar

If you want the library to be available to all sketches, then the jar needs to go in: Processing/Libraries/MyLib/library/MyLib.jar (Note the directory name "MyLib" must match the jar name "MyLib.jar")
