gluegen bundle problem?

Hi, I'm just getting started with JOGL and I've run into a problem right at the start.

I have downloaded the latest binaries from the web site, version 2.0 rc5 windows i586. After unpacking the archives I linked them into my simple test program and tried to run. It immediately dumped with the first message being:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\...\Projects\JOGL\gluegen-2.0-b33-20111219-windows-i586\jar\gluegen-rt-natives-windows-amd64.jar (The system cannot find the file specified)

It looks like the gluegen windows-i586 jar file was constructed improperly and it is trying to load the gluegen-rt windows-amd64 libraries.

Can anyone tell me what is going on here?

Thanks,
Thom

Hi

If you're on a 64 bits machine under Windows, you should use gluegen-rt-natives-windows-amd64.jar (even for Intel 64 bits).

That's weird, but ok. Does the same advice apply for the rest of the packages?

It's not weird as Intel and AMD 64 bits processors use the same architecture. The same advice applies in almost any Java library relying on native libraries.

Thanks again! I've been doing some more reading about this, but I know there's plenty that I still don't know.

You're welcome. I did the same mistake some years ago. The RC6 will use a single JAR for all native libraries, it will avoid such confusions.
