Help ANT and LWJGL !

[beaucoralk]

Hi all,

I would like to use 'Ant' to compile and create the '.jar' of my project.
But I can not properly integrate the LWJGL library, I wonder what I should put in the 'Ant task' which I use at compile time, the launch and creation of the executable file ('.jar').

The three 'Ant task':
Compilation:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9

<target name="compile" depends="init"       description=" : compilation des programmes sous le repertoire sources">       <mkdir dir="${pathClass}"/>       <javac srcdir="${pathSrc}" destdir="${pathClass}" source="${source}"         debug="on" debuglevel="lines,vars,source"         compiler="${compiler}" includeantruntime="false">         <classpath refid="projectClasspath"/>       </javac> </target>

Running:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8

<target name="run" depends="compile"       description=" : execution de la classe principale de l application">       <java classname="${MainClass}" classpath="${pathClass}" fork="true">         <assertions>             <enable/>         </assertions>       </java> </target>

Creat .jar:

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13

<target name="build" depends="compile"       description=" : construction d une application double-clickable">       <jar destfile="${pathBuild}/${JarFile}" index="true">             <manifest>                 <attribute name="Main-Class" value="${MainClass}" />                 <attribute name="Built-By"   value="${user.name}"/>             </manifest>             <fileset dir="${pathClass}"/>             <fileset dir="${basedir}">                 <include name="${dirRes}/"/>             </fileset>       </jar> </target>

How do I do to integrate the library in my project?

1) You need to include the lwjgl jars in the "projectClasspath":
<path id="projectClasspath">
            <pathelement location="path/to/lwjgl.jar"/>
</path>
2) You need to add -Djava.library.path to point to the lwjgl native files in the run task:
<java....>
...
<jvmarg value="-Djava.library.path=./lib"/>
</java>

I've this error :

tom is right. Your run task must set both the Java library path and the class path. If you want, I can show you an example of script doing the same thing, I just need to adapt it for LWJGL. In mine, I use several tasks to create the JAR, sign all JARs, create the JNLP file, run the game, etc...

You need to use some conditions to build the Java library path correctly whatever the OS and the architecture. I did it and it works fine

I fixed the bug for the Compile and Run Ant Task.... but... don't for the Creat .jar task...

My build.xml :

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27   28   29   30   31   32   33   34   35   36   37   38   39   40   41   42   43   44   45   46   47   48   49   50   51   52   53   54   55   56   57   58   59   60   61   62   63   64   65   66   67   68   69   70   71   72   73   74   75   76   77   78   79   80   81   82   83   84   85   86   87   88   89   90   91   92   93   94   95   96   97   98   99   100   101   102   103   104   105   106   107   108   109   110   111   112   113   114   115   116   117   118   119   120   121   122   123   124   125   126   127   128   129   130   131

How can I do for the simple double click the jar file can be run taking into account the '-Djava.library.path = $ {pathNativeLwjgl}'?

[gouessej]

Using a single JAR file is a bad idea because double clicking on it rarely run the application because of WinRAR, Ark, etc... Do as you wish but applets and Java Web Start are more reliable. Maybe you can set the Java library path in the manifest.

[beaucoralk]

I had just the idea of ​​creating a 'jar' which is one of my application launcher and launch just the 'jar' that needs libraries that seems a good idea right?
