Re: [platform-swt-dev] gtk port

Hi,

Thanks, I'm getting closer. I seem to have a couple of problems, but
they are probably in the "I have no idea how to get the Java runtime
on Linux working properly" category. BTW, do you have a "stupid user
questions" mailing list? I hate to clutter up your SWT devel list.

Eclipse builds org.eclipse.swt OK, or says that it does (no errors,
except for the j2se directory where Compatibility.java won't build).
However, I'm not sure where it put the resulting class/jar files (I
sort of get the impression they're supposed to be under
workspace/org.eclipse.swt/bin, but there's nothing in there but a
directory hierarchy and some html files.)

If I create a new project containing ListTest, or just use
org.eclipse.swt.examples, then the separate project can't find SWT.
There are some promising-looking pages in the project properties for
fixing this (e.g. "Java Build Path"), but those pages don't contain
any widgets. Should I be installing SWT somehow? (other than copying
the .so file for the JNI stuff?)

When copying .classpath_motif to .classpath, I encountered the
interesting issue that .classpath seems to be invisible in the
Packages view - my hypothesis was that its presence in .cvsignore
caused this, but changing .cvsignore doesn't seem to cause it to
reappear. Anyway, I don't know if this would affect whether .classpath
is used.
