UPDATE: I just found this topic: http://forum.lwjgl.org/index.php?topic=6647.0
I think this is the answer, but let's wait for a confirm.

Hi.

I refactored my app to be able to use java9 modules and I also successfully created a build pipeline with jlink, so now I have a standalone app from my game, which is good. However, I could not figure out, how can I build for windows/linux on osx, or vica-versa.

I handle dependencies with maven this way:
Code: [Select]

            <properties>
                <lwjgl.natives>natives-windows</lwjgl.natives>
            </properties>
        </profile>
    </profiles>

No matter what I turn on/off in Intellij Idea at the profiles tab, it always builds packages the same way. See the attached image.

It should work when you activate the profile using
Code: [Select]
-P by using
Code: [Select]
mvn -Plwjgl-natives-linux <lifecycle-phase> or
Code: [Select]
mvn -Plwjgl-natives-windows <lifecycle-phase>.
This project ( https://github.com/LWJGL/lwjgl3-demos/blob/master/pom.xml ) uses the same os profile activation and the natives (i.e. the active profile) can be overwritten using the -P mvn switch.

Didn't want to open a new topic, I got this on windows:
Code: [Select]
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project engine: Could not resolve dependencies for project xy:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.lwjgl:lwjgl-vulkan:jar:natives-windows:3.2.1-20181014.235349-6 in sonatype-snapshots (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots) -> [Help 1]

Command was:
Code: [Select]
mvn -Plwjgl-natives-windows compile
Tried to run on windows and on osx, same error. Compilation for linux and macos works fine.

OK, one more:
Code: [Select]
java.lang.IllegalAccessError: class org.lwjgl.vulkan.VkApplicationInfo (in module org.lwjgl.vulkan) cannot access class sun.misc.Unsafe (in module jdk.unsupported) because module org.lwjgl.vulkan does not read module jdk.unsupported

First error: the Vulkan bindings do not have a natives artifact.

Second error: This is a problem with the latest 3.2.1 snapshot, I'll try to find a solution soon.

Thanks!

Regarding to the first error: after mvn clean, it happened for all platforms, and then I added the required natives and then the I got the second. Sometimes maven and/or intellij do really weird caches...

The second error should be fixed in 3.2.1 snapshot 6.

The module visibility error gone, thx. However I have the same problem now with the natives:

Code: [Select]
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project engine: Could not resolve dependencies for project xy:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact org.lwjgl:lwjgl-vulkan:jar:natives-windows:3.2.1-SNAPSHOT in sonatype-snapshots (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots) -> [Help 1]
OSX/Linux works fine.

As I said above, there is no natives artifact for Vulkan on Windows/Linux. It's only necessary on macOS for the MoltenVK shared library.

Ah, my bad, sorry!

A question tough. Would it be a good way if I ask the user during the installation process to install vulkan too? As on osx it will be automatic with moltenvk, on win/linux I have to rely on the os's sdk, right?

You do not need the Vulkan SDK to use Vulkan. On Windows & Linux, it's enough to have a GPU driver with Vulkan support installed. On macOS, MoltenVK simply requires an OS version that supports Metal (i.e. macOS 10.11 or higher).

Your First error has not been wholly solved yet.
I download the pom.xml from here : https://www.lwjgl.org/customize
And it still contains this:
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.lwjgl</groupId>
         <artifactId>lwjgl-vulkan</artifactId>
         <version>${lwjgl.version}</version>
         <classifier>${lwjgl.natives}</classifier>
      </dependency>
If I not happened to see the forum here I might never found out what goes wrong.
I strongly suggest you fix it when you have some spare time.
