OpenGL with x64 Windows does not work - what to do?

in Integration and Hardware • 1 year ago

Hi there,
I am having problems starting my opengl sketch from eclipse. Ill get this error:
"Can't load IA 32-bit .dll on a AMD 64-bit platform"
The issue has been adressed before, I found this tutorial to solve it:
http://wiki.processing.org/w/64-bit_Support
http://forum.processing.org/topic/processing-opengl-and-windows-x64

Unfortunately this seems to be outdated, because the folder and file names and structure is different now. I can not locate the files or folders described in the tutorial, so I cannot fix my problem.
Can someone please help me on how to use openGL on a 64bit system?
Cheers

Okay nevermind, I think I got it fixed. The eclipse error message included the path to my sketch and its libraries, where I would find a bunch of .dll files in the opengl folder. These have to be replaced by the dlls found in:
yourProcessingInstallationFolder\modes\java\libraries\opengl\library\windows64
That worked for me.
Cheers

Hi - I am not running eclipse (I'm working within the processing IDE) so I'm not getting any indication as to where to put these files. Where did you put them? I followed the other link in this thread which mentioned a jar file which does not exist on my computer, and a folder: libraries > opengl > library which also did not exist. Can you tell me where you put your files? Thanks so much!
