Compiling problems with linux-amd64

[Anonymous]

Hello.

I'm trying to compile LWJGL from source for amd64.  I've applied the patch that has been suggested elsewhere, but I get an error when I try to compile.

xxxxx@xxxxx:~/downloads/lwjgl$ ant
Buildfile: build.xml

compile:
     [core] Compiling 210 source files to /home/xxxxx/downloads/lwjgl/bin
     [core] directory does not exist: -sourcepath

BUILD FAILED
/home/xxxxx/downloads/lwjgl/build.xml:333: Compile failed; see the compiler error output for details.

Total time: 3 seconds

Am I doing something horribly wrong?
Thanks for any help you can give.

you shouldn't need any patch files, there is one included in the distribution - makefile.amd64

however compiling java files shouldn't produce any errors regardless of platform. You must have applied some weird patches...

[Anonymous]

The only patch I applied was to replace the default makefile with the makefile.amd64.  Either way (if I leave it the way I downloaded it), I get the same error.

Any help/advice you can give would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

[Matzon]

please check your java installation and/or ant. The default build.xml works like expected.

Thanks for the ant suggestion, that fixed the first problem, but now there are others.  Mostly "package does not exist" errors (net.java.games.input) and "Cannot find symbol" errors (Class Component in org.lwjgl.input.JInputController).

Any suggestions?  If I can get this to work, I'd like to stick it in a tarball and donate the native amd64 libs to you guys.

P.S. My java installation is Sun's JDK1.5.0_06

[Matzon]

you need the jinput libs - which are in the libs folder

I really have no prior experiences with building stuff what wrong here?

[MadCoder]

Well I guess its safe to say that I need some kind of build guide but have been unable to find one, if someone have some pointers please help. After I have succesfully built this I will make a guide for it.

[Matzon]

pretty simple, need jinput support libs to compile - if need be, add them to the ant build file.

You must be using an old build file, because the one in cvs has jinput added.
