Title: [FIXED] Add Unix to known platforms in LWJGLUtil
Post by: kruno73 on May 06, 2011, 07:55:17

I'm getting this error in Slackware linux while running lwjgl 2.7 app:
org.lwjgl.LWJGLUtil ---> java.lang.LinkageError: Unknown platform: Unix 2.6.38.2

lwjgl.LWJGLUtil.java line 280

else if ( osName.startsWith("Linux") || osName.startsWith("FreeBSD") || osName.startsWith("SunOS") )
PLATFORM = PLATFORM_LINUX;

Please add "Unix" to the list.
Thank You.

Found it a bit odd that a Linux distribution identifies itself as Unix, but after a quick wikipedia found this

QuoteSlackware aims for design stability and simplicity, and to be the most "Unix-like" Linux distribution

so its intentionally disguising itself.

I suppose "Unix" could be added to the list but just curious whether the Linux LWJGL binaries would be compatible with Unix?

As a catch all, can we just do as a last resort always try Linux?

if(windows...){
}
else if(mac...) {
}
else {
PLATFORM = PLATFORM_LINUX;
}

It doesn't seem like it will hurt anything; if the Linux files don't work, it won't be a big deal as it wouldn't have worked anyway.

sure it won't hurt (much) but things can change on the windows and mac platforms too, e.g. recently "Darwin" was added to support a variant of OS X. We don't really want to be attempting to load linux natives on something like that.
