| RE: [platform-swt-dev] building native libraries for Linux/PPC |
>1) Building libswt*.so: >I've had to copy over the files Please look in the updated FAQ: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-home/faq.html#howbuilddll The location of the swtsrc.zip changed between 1.0 and 2.0. The old FAQ only had the 1.0 information in it. If you use Eclipse as your IDE, when you compile the Java source, the bin directory created to hold the java classes also contains all the c source arranged exactly as required to build the library (see org.eclipse.swt/bin/library). All you have to do is run the build script in the bin/library directory. Do not run make directly but rather use the build script as on some platforms environment variables are set up in the build script. I will update the FAQ entry to describe how to build the libraries from CVS without eclipse. >4. Building platform launcher See: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-swt-home/faq.html#buildeclipseexe Note that if you use the build.csh script rather than calling the make file directly, the environment is already set up correctly.
