WHERE DO YOU GET the actual version of GL4Java ?
================================================
Unix, Windows, ...
===================
http://jausoft.goethel.de/Files/Java/1.1.X/GL4Java/
binpkg/png-1.0a-jar.zip (the PNG-JAR file)
binpkg/gl4javaX.Y.Z.R-jar.zip (the JAR file)
binpkg/gl4javaX.Y.Z.R-glutfonts-jar.zip (the JAR file)
binpkg/gl4javaX.Y.Z.R-classes.zip (the classes in a ZIP)
binpkg/gl4javaX.Y.Z.R-glutfonts-classes.zip (the classes in a ZIP)
binpkg/libGL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-<UNIX-TYPE>.tar.gz (the native libs - unix)
binpkg/libGL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-<WIN32-TYPE>.zip (the native libs - win32)
archive/GL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-demos.zip (demos - for users :-)
archive/GL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-src.tgz (sources no demos - for developers :-)
archive/GL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-doc.tgz (everything - for the patiente :-)
(where X is the major, Y the minor, Z the bugfix and R the release
library version number !
Take a look at VERSIONS.txt for a closer description !
)
The Documentation
=================
It is recommended to check the documentation (so much work on it ;-).
Just download the file 'GL4JavaX.Y.Z-doc.tgz' and un-gzip and un-tar it
(Windows users may use WinZip here :-)
Now you can read the HTML-Documentation with:
<YourHtmlBrowser> GL4Java/docs/html/GL4Java.html
Or you can read the Postscript version with:
<YourPostScriptViewer> GL4Java/docs/GL4Java.ps
Special Java2 Installation file:
Java2.txt
Special Netscape Installation file:
Netscape.txt
Special MS-JVM Installation file:
MS-JVM.txt
YOU MUST ALLREADY HAVE THE FOLLOWING INSTALLED:
===============================================
COMMON:
=======
o >= jdk 1.1.5 (for using)
o >= jdk 1.2 (for developing)
tested:
jdk1.1.7 (win32 (plus jit), linux (plus jit (tya v3.0)))
jdk1.2 (win32, linux (Pre-V1,native,no-jit))
Java2 (Java1.2) Plug-In on Netscape 4.5 (Win32)
Netscape 4.5 (Win32)
UNIX / X11 :
============
o ( GL + GLU ) or ( MesaGL + MesaGLU Version 3.0 or higher)
AND glut (only for c-demos yet)
We are looking for libGL.so AND libGLU.so in your library PATH,
so please create a symbolic link from the Mesa libs,
to the abstract one's !!
o X11R6 (XFree86 works fine ;-)
o Unix standard file-utilities (tar, gzip, ...)
WINDOWS 32 (NT & 95)
====================
o M$ OpenGL and GLU library - !!!! MUST !!!!
see if you have opengl32.dll AND glu32.dll
installed in your library path
(c:/winnt/system32 OR c:/windows/system)
o For running GL4Java within MS-JVM:
Be sure you have the new MS-JVM machine (build 3186) installed:
Microsoft (R) VM for Java, 5.0 Release 5.0.0.3186
o Unix standard file-utilities (tar, gzip, ...)
OR WinZip (can extract tar-files ;-)
Installation procedure for UNIX/WINDOWs BINARY DISTRIBUTION:
============================================================
UNICE and WINDOWs USERS JAVA ARCHIVE
=====================================
o Choose a version number X.Y.Z.R !
Be shure that the version numbers X.Y are the same
for the gl4java.jar file and the native libraries !
The closest version number match provides the best compatibility !
o download the gl4java.jar files, which is zipped in
binpkg/gl4javaX.Y.Z.R-jar.zip (the JAR file)
binpkg/gl4javaX.Y.Z.R-glutfonts-jar.zip (the JAR file)
o unzip the downloaded gl4javaX.Y.Z.R*-jar.zip files,
this will result a file called gl4java.jar and gl4java-glutfonts.jar !
o download the png.jar file, which is zipped in
binpkg/png-1.0a-jar.zip (the PNG-JAR file)
o unzip the downloaded png-1.0a-jar.zip file,
this will result a file called png.jar !
o Add gl4java.jar AND png.jar to your CLASSPATH (echo \$CLASSPATH)
if you use Java 1.1.X !
o If you use JAVA2 or JRE - copy gl4java.jar AND png.jar to :
./jre/lib/ext/.
o If you use JAVA2 Plug-In copy gl4java.jar AND png.jar to :
./jre/lib/.
(looks like a bug, because the Java2-PlugIn does not find
the gl4java.jar file in the ./jre/lib/ext directory )
UNICE USERS NATIVE LIBRARY
============================
o download the native libraries, which is zipped in
binpkg/libGL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-<UNIX-TYPE>.tar.gz (the native libs - unix)
o change to a directory which is within your LD_LIBRARY_PATH
environment variable !
(Look at 'echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH').
o unpack the downloaded libGL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-<UNIX-TYPE>.tar.gz,
this will result some files called libGL4Java*.so* !
If you want to copy the extracted library files,
be sure to use 'cp -a' to keep the symbolic links alive !
o If you use JAVA2, JAVA2-Plug-In or JRE - copy the libs to :
./jre/lib/<machine>/.
e.g. linux:
./jre/lib/i386/.
or
./jre/lib/i386/green-threads/.
Be sure to use 'cp -a' to keep the symbolic links alive !
o If you want to use Netscape 4.5 or above,
please read Netscape.txt
WINDOWs USERS NATIVE LIBRARY
============================
o download the native libraries, which is zipped in
binpkg/libGL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-<WIN32-TYPE>.zip (the native libs - win32)
o unzip the downloaded libGL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-<WIN32-TYPE>.zip,
this will result some files called GL4Java*.dll !
o Then copy the libraries
to c:/winnt/system32 (WINNT), c:/windows/system (WIN9X)
or where the other's *.dll files exits !
You can also copy the files (better) to /java2/jre/bin if using java2 !
o If you use JAVA2, JAVA2-Plug-In or JRE - copy the libs also to :
./jre/bin/.
o If you want to use Netscape 4.5 or above,
please read Netscape.txt
o If you use MS-JVM (MS-InternetExplorer >=4.0)
please read MS-JVM.txt
UNICE and WINDOWs USERS
=======================
o You can check the installation and the used library versions with:
java gl4java.GLContext
o You can now download the demos-archive GL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-demos.zip
This will create the directory GL4Java/demos !
Just try the demos while typing:
cd demos
java glDemosCvs
This will invoke the demo-manager !
o To allow JAVA2's appletviewer using JNI native libs,
just look at GL4Java/demo/Java2Applet.bat
(You have to change the gl4java.policy file) !
You can - of course - use your 'policytool',
which is shipped with JAVA2 !
To use the demo Applets for Java2-Plug-In from www.jausoft.com,
please add the following lines to your java.policy file:
grant codeBase "http://www.jausoft.com/Files/Java/1.1.X/GL4Java/demos/-" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
};
o You can check JAVA2-Plug-In with the Java-Applets-Html-File's
demos/glLogoCvsAppletJ2P.html
demos/glOlympicCvsAppletJ2P.html
demos/testTextPPM1J2P.html
o You can check Netscape Win32-JVM with the Java-Applets-Html-File's
demos/glLogoCvsApplet.html
demos/glOlympicCvsApplet.html
demos/testTextPPM1.html (copy swingall.jar of Swing1.1 to
./Netcape/Communicator/Program/Java/classes )
o You can check MS-InternetExplorer >= 4.0 with the Java-Applets-Html-File's
demos/glLogoCvsApplet.html
demos/glOlympicCvsApplet.html
demos/testTextPPM1.html (extract swingall.jar of Swing1.1 to
C:\WINDOWS\Java\TRUSTLIB - and delete
C:\WINDOWS\Java\TRUSTLIB\META-INF !)
o you will find further documentations in docs/html/GL4Java.html
or docs/GL4Java.ps !
(Download GL4JavaX.Y.Z.R-doc.tgz,
or check it online - search for it at www.jausoft.com :-)
have a lot of fun, responses and ideas are welcome !
