getting and building the demos

matthewmaher
A basic question from someone completely new to all this:

I was able to successfully git, build, and test JOGL (on a Linux machine) as described here: http://jogamp.org/jogl/doc/HowToBuild.html    The test worked, with the whirring gears appearing, etc. Very nice.  Only (minor) issue is that step 7 references a non-existent target (javadoc).  

So now I'd like to build the demos, just to see/have some starting points for application building.  But that 'HowtoBuild' page does not mention the demos, and I'm unclear where the correct/current source is.  

This page ( http://jogamp.org/wiki/index.php/Jogl_FAQ#Get_the_Source_Code ) directs one to get the demo source from: git://github.com/sgothel/jogl-demos.git   If I do that, and try to build it, I get errors like: package com.jogamp.openal.util does not exist     Do I need to separately get 'openal' software?  

This page ( http://jogamp.org/jogl-demos/doc/readme.html ) directs one to get the demo source from kenai.com and when I do that and try to build it, I get errors like:
package com.sun.javafx.newt does not exist

In both cases I followed the instruction of downloading the demos to a sibling directory from gluegen and jogl, and clearing the ClASSPATH before attempting the build.  

So what is the correct location for the source for the demos?  and do I need to separately install other software first?   I didn't find any instructions that indicated that I did.  

Thanks for any help
-Matt

Hi!

The demos are on Github and some of them require JOAL. Best regards.
