Problem with application export

in Integration and Hardware • 1 year ago

Hi, I'm trying to export as an application with openGL but I get the "Could not copy source file" message and when I open the .exe file nothing happens.

I've tried with a simple source file and it works, but as soon as I add the import processing.opengl.*; line I get the same error message. In my application folder I have a lib folder with the opengl jar and others jars, plus a source folder with the pde file and some .ddl files.

I guess it's a problem with the libraries,what should I do?

Thanks, I've searched the forum but I haven't found a working solution for this problem.

I had a problem like this many months ago with processing 1.5.1.
I started the program (processing IDE) as adminstrator and it worked!

Try it.

Can you run OPENGL sketches?

Mybe try to reinstall Processing.

Yes I am able to run OpenGL sketches, I've also tried reinstalling Processing and installing the latest versions but nothing worked.

Could you send me the files?

Maybe I have the problem, too with your files?

what libraries are you using? I think it was GSvideo that required manually moving the gstreamer folder to the exported lib folder. Also moving your data out temporarily while you export, then move it back in.

also, try running the .exe (or the *appname*.jar) in your lib folder from the terminal/command line, sometimes you get more feedback that way.

I have seen the "Could not copy source file" message before, but my application has worked anyway.

good luck!

I'm using OpenGL, that's the only library I'm importing...

If I export as an application this simple program:

import processing.opengl.*;
void setup() {
size(600, 600, OPENGL);
}
void draw() {
point(200, 200);
}

I get the "Could not copy source file" error.

I've tried to run the exe from console and nothing happens :(

Thanks for the help anyway!

If anyone is having the same problem, I've installed Processing 1.2.1 and it worked.
