[FIXED] Error setting native libraries path. LWJGL not available for windows 7

[carlo_salinari]

- description
The same eclipse application (using lwjgl plugin 2.6) runs flawlessly uder linux x86_32 but fails to run under win 7 64bit, giving the error message in the subject.
See full stack trace in attachments.

- steps to reproduce
under win 7 64
install lwjgl eclipse plugin 2.6
create a basic eclipse application with a View
create a GLCanvas an try to use it ( GLContext.useContext(canvas) )

I attach my little application as a test case.

LWJGL is for sure available for Windows 7 64bit. I use it in that environment myself since several month. So it's more likely related to that eclipse plugin which does not provide all native files.

[carlo_salinari]

I thought that as well. But the content of my C:\eclipse\plugins\org.lwjgl_2.6.0\native\windows looks ok to me:

Should I file this bug somewhere else? Who's maintaining the lwjgl eclipse plugin? Is this forum the wrong place?

[Matzon]

The eclipse plugin is maintained by Jens Von Pilgrim. I have a private copy that I used to create the update site.
I am using both Windows 7 in 32 and 64 bit - and have not noticed anything. I will double check my win7 64bit installations later.

The code for the plugin is in JVPs private svn, we have talked about adding it to lwjgls svn, but nothing conclusive yet. There is an issue about the license being EPL, but from my POV I dont see that as a problem.

I'll let you know later.

[Matzon]

confirming, I'll see what can be done about it

Thanks.
I'll get in touch with Jens to see if I can get the source and have a look at it myself too.

[carlo_salinari]

this is fixed in Jens' svn tree now.
