How to install Syphon for processing 2.0

sergiobd

Hi,

I am trying to install Syphon for its use in Processing 2.0 but i have ran into some problems. I am on snow leopard.

I cloned the repo from here: https://github.com/Syphon/Processing

The repo does not contain the usual .jar file, so I decided to add the syphon source code to my sketch, commenting the "package" line in each file. I then had problems because the library imported jsyphon, which wasn't found. I realized that is was on a gray folder in the repo, which wasn't downloaded when I cloned the repo. So, I cloned the java repo for jsyphon (https://github.com/Syphon/Java) which has a jsyphon.jar file. I installed it as a usual processing library (ProcessingFolder/libraries/jsyphon/library/jsyphon.jar). When I run the sendFrames.pde example (after adding to the folder the processing syphon java source files), i get the following error:

Any clues on this?

It means that method w/ that specific signature parameters has access restriction.
Probably it is private or protected for example.
Also it says it belongs to class PGL. Which I'm afraid it doesn't seem too much related to "jsyphon.jar". @-)

Thanks GoToLoop,

Yeah, its a function from the opengl apparently:

https://github.com/processing/processing/blob/f1afce5ed48e389b57dc957329ba12e07bdeb273/core/src/processing/opengl/PGL.java

its definitions are in lines 886 and subsequent. There is a comment in those functions that says "Not an approved function, this will change or be removed in the future."

That doesn't point me anywhere, though...
