Hello everyone,
I've been using the package manager included in the OpenEmbedded filesystem to instal several packages. This is all working fine, but now I'm having troubles running an SWT application. One of the possible causes, is that the GNU Classpath (ipkg classpath-gtk) wasn't build with the configuration option --enable-jni ? By default this is yes, but it is of course possible that it has been switched off?
So now is my question, is there anyone who knows if this option is enabled or disabled?
Another question, in case the jni is disabled:
I've tried to ./configure, make and make install the classpath myself (version 0.97) but I had to do this on my development computer. Since I wanted to be able to easily move all the files I placed it in a specific directory. But moving them to my Taskit Panel Card, I figured out that this isn't working since there are some hard-links used (well that's what I found on the Internet). So that it should be installed in the right directory from the first time? Is there any possibility that I don't have to do that and I copy it to the panelcard later?
Thanks for your help!
Re: ipkg Classpath-gtk
GNU Classpath does not support SWT. It is a separate package. Unfortunately there are some build errors when compiling it with the OE build environment, so we cannot provide an ipkg package for SWT at the moment, but there may be one in the future.
Re: ipkg Classpath-gtk
Well that's bad news. But, the jni is enabled in the current version of the Classpath?
Re: ipkg Classpath-gtk
Ok I've written a small test application with jni and this is working so the --enable-jni is ok :-)
Now I'm going to try to get SWT working... :-)
Re: ipkg Classpath-gtk
After some building, rebuilding and building again I finally got SWT working on the Panel Card! At least my test-application is working properly, but that's only building a Display with a Shell on it and a label and button on top of that Shell. Not that fancy but at least I got it working after all.
The main issue is the getting the src of SWT compiled with the EABI cross compiler for OE. This is still giving me some problems but the necessary files (libswt-pi-gtk-3232.so and libswt-gtk-3232.so) are build and working... Once I had those, everything worked fine...
Thanks for your advice and help...
Next step: RCP :-)
