CGAL.Polygon_mesh_processing not found in Java binding

[agodemar]

I am on Windows 10 and compiled successfully the Java bindings generated by cmake.
When I try to compile in Java the example program test_pmp.java the imports CGAL.Polygon_mesh_processing.* are not recognized.
Is there a particular dll/lib on the CGAL side that I have to generate in order to have this example working?

What version of CGAL are you using? Polygon_mesh_processing is only available starting with CGAL 4.7 and some parts only with 4.8 and later.

[agodemar]

I'm using 4.8. But I can't figure out how to get CGAL.Polygon_mesh_processing.*
Do I have to make sure to use Eigen3 or BLAS?

[sloriot]

Oh I see. Then I guess this is a problem with the java CLASSPATH variable.
Try setting CLASSPATH where the java class are generated.
By default something like:
export CLASSPATH=/where/I/called/cmaked/build-java
For running, you need to had $CLASSPATH/lib in your PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH

[agodemar]

I am using Eclipse MARS and I have a project that includes all the *.java generated by cmake. All is fine when I compile the basic Java examples.
Setting the CLASSPATH variable as you suggest seems a 'run configuration' workaround.
The problem is that ther is no Java class or package named Polygon_mesh_processing in the generated file set. I am afraid I am missing some important configuration steps when I configure/compile CGAL.

[sloriot]

Look at the value of JAVA_OUTDIR_PREFIX in your CMakeCache.txt, then each CGAL package will be located in its own directory in ${JAVA_OUTDIR_PREFIX}/CGAL

I am a few steps ahead now. I did not configure Eigen3 correctly when compiling CGAL.
Now I have CGAL configured for vc14 and compiled with boost 1.61.0, QT5.6.1, Eigen3, BLAS & Lapack, TBB 4.4.
With Eigen3 in place now cmake configures CGAL-swig-bindings differently and produces the wrapping C++/Java code for a larger set of classes.
Still I've got an error in the file path/to/build-java/CGAL/Polygon_mesh_processing/CGAL_Polygon_mesh_processingJAVA_wrap.cxx

What version of swig are you using?

[agodemar]

Yes maybe it'is a swig related issue. I'm using swig 3.0.9
It gave me similar problems with java bindings for OpenCascade.

Hey,

I have exactly the same issue here. Is there any progress in this topic?
I am using the following versions:

• OS: Windows 10
• SWIG: 4.0.1
• CGAL-Bindings: master branch of today
• CGAL 4.14.2
• Eigen: 3.3.7

Thank you
