can't run sketches anymore: Library

Chrisir · February 2016

hello all,

1st I had missing gleugen...dll

now I have

Can't load library: C:\Users\XXXX\soft\processing\processing-3.0.1\natives\windows-amd64\nativewindow_awt.dll

I don't even have a folder C:\Users\XXXX\soft\processing\processing-3.0.1\natives let alone the stuff in the path coming then

also, the last \ is a double \

to cure it, I deleted processing and re-installed it - no use

all used to work fine....

What can I do?

Win 10, processing 3 (latest)

A library relies on native code that's not available.
Or only works properly when the sketch is run as a 32-bit application.

in the processing distro there are a bunch of jar files containing all the various library files for jogamp.

when processing starts up, the relevant jar file is unzipped into a temporary directory and THAT is used by processing.

but it looks like in your case it can't find anywhere to safely unzip the jar file. iirc it tries a few places and it needs correct permissions.

(i'm on linux so i can't provide details. but see https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/comment/60216/#Comment_60216 onwards )

some people have had success removing the processing directory in their roaming profile (which i think is where their temp directory is, and which would explain why a reinstall didn't help)

koogs · February 2016

(i've been tagging things like this with 'wontstart' so maybe look in the other threads for answers. i think there are a couple of different things going on with this and they are getting confused but it might help)

Chrisir · February 2016

doesn't work yet

which folders do I have to clean up?

thanks

koogs · February 2016

https://forum.processing.org/two/discussion/14381/startup-error

???

koogs · February 2016

the troubleshooting faq also says to try

.\processing.exe --l4j-debug

to give a bit more visibility

Chrisir · February 2016

i'll look

GoToLoop · February 2016

There has been lotsa "won't start" bug reports in Win10!
Seems like Windows 10 blocks some folders which Processing needs to access in order to run.
The interesting thing is that Processing isn't "officially" installed in the OS, b/c it's merely a ".zip" file that we can decompress & throw anywhere.
Notable exception is the MacOS version. Which got an actual installation. But it generates their own nasty bugs too due to it!
A workaround is trying to pinpoint the exact folder Processing needs and alter its permission. 8-|

Chrisir · February 2016

So which folders does it need and how can I alter the permission

koogs · February 2016

You're asking Linux users here 8)

I don't think I've ever even touched a windows 10 computer.

GoToLoop · February 2016

Since I'm using my mom's laptop now, I'm on Win7 right now.
However, I dunno exactly which folders Processing needs to access in order to run.
Only Windows 10 is blocking them, whatever they are! >:)

Chrisir · February 2016

well it used to work till this morning.

so win 10 is not the issue.

moreover the error in the thread koogs posted is different from mine

it's either a temp file that can not be deleted or so....

I re-installed processing, re installed java, killed java, updated my graphics card, killed all temp files

no use ....

koogs · February 2016

was looking up the error in processing github and found three issues:

https://github.com/processing/processing/search?q=Caught+Exception+while+retrieving+executable+temp+base+directory&type=Issues&utf8=✓

the first one points at the third one. the third blames avira antivirus...

Chrisir · February 2016

Indeed, I use avira

Thank you SO much

I would never have found that....

koogs · February 2016

and jogamp getTempDir source is here:

http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/org.jogamp.gluegen/gluegen/2.1.4/com/jogamp/common/util/IOUtil.java#IOUtil.getTempDir(boolean)

// "java.io.tmpdir";
final String java_io_tmpdir = PropertyAccess.getProperty(java_io_tmpdir_propkey, false);
final String user_temp; // only if diff than java_io_tmpdir
{
    String _user_temp = System.getenv("TMPDIR");
    if( !isStringSet(_user_temp) ) {
        _user_temp = System.getenv("TEMP");
    }
...

seems convoluted...

Chrisir · February 2016

interesting!

I will try....

If it runs....

It seems btw. that 3D sketches don't run, a 2D sketch ran yesterday....

GoToLoop · February 2016

Ah, an anti-virus! For better or for worse, i don't use any anti-virus in this Win 7 laptop. :\">
But I had to use 1 for my bro's Win 8.1 PC though. 8-X

Chrisir · February 2016

step 1:

the script for detecting the temp dir delivers cannot find anything named PropertyAccess:

import java.io.*;
import java.*;

import java.lang.*;

//import java.lang;

// import property.*;



// "java.io.tmpdir";
final String java_io_tmpdir = PropertyAccess.getProperty(java_io_tmpdir_propkey, false);
final String user_temp; // only if diff than java_io_tmpdir
{
  String _user_temp = System.getenv("TMPDIR");
  if ( !isStringSet(_user_temp) ) {
    _user_temp = System.getenv("TEMP");
  }
}


// ...

Chrisir · February 2016

SOLVED.

it indeed was avira virus scanner

(which is a little weird since processing used to run all the time and avira was on all the time but nvm)

I had to add an exception via avirus' realtime scanner | configuration [not system scanner]

the exception I had to add was c:\user\XXXX\Appdata\Local [not roaming btw]

(which is still a little scaring to give such a broad exception to a virus sanner but here you go)

@koogs thank you so much!!! My hero.

GoToLoop · February 2016

I believe the most specific folder would be: "%TMP%". *-:)
Which would correspond to "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp\" in your system. ;)

Chrisir · February 2016

indeed.

changed that!

Did you notice btw that this temp folder is flooded with processing sketches??

processing doesn't seem to have ANY measures to delete files on shut-down...

GoToLoop · February 2016

Since I had Win98SE, I've been using CCleaner to get rid of craps every OS reset:
https://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/CCleaner

BtW, I've configured it to delete %TMP% files once they're 48 hours old! ;)

Chrisir · February 2016

Thanks!

Howdy, Stranger!
