java gaming initiative ebuilds (jogl,jinput,jutils)

[TheBohemian]

I have started writing ebuilds on my own and want to get some response about two of them. If you are interested in Java games programming and know jinput from javagaming.org or https://jinput.dev.java.net/ then this may be the right place for you.

As the title implies I made ebuilds for those nightly source packages which can be found here https://games-binaries.dev.java.net .

The two ebuilds are located here:
www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~rschuste/gentoo/jutils-1.0_beta.ebuild
www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~rschuste/gentoo/jinput-1.0_beta.ebuild

If someone can help me with this problem:
jinput needs jutils being available on the classpath. How can I ensure this when emerging jinput?

I am going to write ebuilds for jogl and joal as well when I have the time. If someone is faster than me please add the ebuilds to this thread.

EDIT:
The files have been updated and I have tested that their dependences are met when emerging.

EDIT2:
Please keep in mind that the jinput ebuild only installs the java part of the API not the (native) plugin. I am in contact with jinput's author to get a hint how the plugins could be installed system-wide in a convenient way.

just make jutils a dependency for jinput, upon inspection it also needs ant too.

make sure to read the docs about ebuilds and also look at some examples.

In my first post I said that I would provide ebuilds for the other JGI core projects too. Here is the ebuild for the most anticipated one: JOGL

http://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/~rschuste/gentoo/jogl-1.0_beta.ebuild

It uses some sed-trickery to fulfill jogl's building needs .. if someone knows a more clever way of doing that then tell me.

Hi - I just stumbled upon this post by accident and I'm quite interested in the jogl ebuild.
However: It seems that a new version is out and I can't find the old sourcecode anymore.
Can anybody provide my with a link to the needed sourcecode?

The latest nightly build of JOGL is available at:

https://games-binaries.dev.java.net/build/jogl/jogl-1.1.0-b04-src.tar.gz

The source is also available through CVS.

See: https://jogl.dev.java.net/source/browse/jogl/

However, I'd suggest you use one of the release binary builds available at:

https://jogl.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectDocumentList

I got stuck with the ebuilds because I do not know how to install native libraries (libjogl.so).
Can anybody help here?

Last night, I modified your ebuild and submitted it to bugzilla:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50178

I gave you credit for the initial version.

I agree that there needs to be a better way to install the native library than using dolib.so. I didn't see anything in the java-pkg eclass. Does anyone out there know how to install java native libraries?

Nice one

But I think you should change the ebuild's name to something like jogl-nightly to underscore that there is no real release by now.

Or we start a little discussion on javagaming.org whether it would be better to have a proper release scheme for JOGL.

[treebeard]

I'd rather not change the name, I like your second idea better. JOGL really needs to have packaged source releases along with their binary release builds.

I'm trying to use your ebuild, but this is what I get:

The problem is probably due to the fact that ant will not include Antlr unless Antlr is installed first. Try re-installing ant.

I have just seen Kalle's response for https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50178

Unfortunately the JOGL guys do not include version information in the file name itself but the link to the corresponds to a directory that is versioned. One could even make these foo_yyyyMMDD-style versioned packages with it.

Is there a way to convince Kalle?
