G4P library - where to put the files.....

in Contributed Library Questions • 3 years ago

Aarrgh. I'm kind of embarrassed to be asking this as I've had problems with this in the past. But I just cannot seem to find the right place to put the files for this library. I tried extracting the zip file directly to ../sketchbook/libraries/

I tried moving the jar file directly into this folder. I tried putting it in a bunch of other places. No luck. The annoying thing is that I had it working fine earlier, but I reinstalled some stuff.....

Any help appreciated (I was formerly know as Giles, but that username seems to have vanished in the move).

you need to place the 4 folders you get when extracting the zip file into another folder called guicomponents and place this folder in the libraries folder. If you download some libraries and dont know where to put it, there is a little trick to find out.
it is always the same name as the jar file in the library folder, so in this case guicomponents.jar = guicomponents

Hope that helps.

He's also placed it on the new wiki, so if you see anything that needs clarification, we can update it.

I might update it myself... I wouldn't mind seeing the addition of the "code" directory. I'll have to read through it.
