Hi All:

As title says, I am new to lwjgl. I used the configurator and downloaded the sources/docs, Linux/windows natives, all (basically the whole shebang). I am trying to run the code from the "Get Started" page (right or wrong). I could not use gradle because my Linux installation is locked down. I manually unzipped everything to an "lwjgl" directory and modified Java eclipse to find stuff.

I turned on -Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true IAW debug output ... ran again and am receiving:
"liblwjgl32.so not found in java.library.path"

Trying to be a good little programmer I performed a 'find . -name "*.so"' in the lwjgl directory and could not find any .so files. Doing a grep on lwjgl seems like it would provide excessive results. I am missing something that might be obvious ... thoughts?

Thanks ahead!

Scrappy.

BTW, I looked for a newby area and searched the forum for liblwjgl32.so, all to no avail.

LWJGL 3 does not provide 32-bit Linux builds.

Thanks. If Linux is 64bit:
uname -a
... x86_64 GNU/Linux

And java is 64bit:

{/tmp} > java -version
... OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b12, mixed mode)

How do I tell the configurator to choose a 64 bit version instead of a 32 bit version. This was not an option that I saw. Or does it have something todo with selecting both windows and Linux?

Cheers.

You don't have to do anything, it should use the 64-bit version automatically.

Could you please run your application with -Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true and -Dorg.lwjgl.util.DebugLoader=true and post the output here?

Tester3D contains the code from the getting started page.

You obviously use a different JRE when starting the app. Compare your output:

{/tmp} > java -version
... OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.131-b12, mixed mode)

with LWJGL's JVM query:

Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM v25.45-b02 by Oracle Corporation

the latter one being a 32-bit JVM.

thanks! will pursue.

Think I got the 32bit issue fixed.

Where do I find liblwjgl.so? it is not in the lwjgl unzipped directory(s) anywhere. Neither does it appear in /bin, /usr/bin., etc.

Thanks ahead of time!

You must add the JAR files that contain the natives to the classpath. Read this for more options.
