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
