Compile Processing on Windows?
Aug 22nd, 2009, 9:23am
 
Hi,

What do I need to compile Processing PDE on Windows

I found a hack explaining how to compile Processing on Linux, but is it possible to do the same on Windows (XP)

Thanks.

Unless you have Cygwin or similar, the make.sh and other shell scripts won't work.
I don't have the sources at hand as I write that, but you might look if there is a README or similar explaining the steps.
At worst, you can look at the mentioned shell scripts and see what are the steps to follow.
IIRC, some steps (copying libraries, etc.) can be done by hand...

Thank you for pointing out this document. Installing cygwin and building Processing is pretty straightforward when you follow the instructions...

I just had to reboot after Quicktime install, so the Quicktime for Java stuff could be recognized.

fwiw, the official link for the build instructions:

(that's auto-generated from the howto.txt file in svn)
