trouble using java lib

[meza]

Hi,
I'm trying to us the java library. I've added the jar to my classpath, and set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to point to the libBlink1.so's directory.

Now when I start using my device, I get this:

blink1/libraries/libBlink1.so: undefined symbol: hid_enumerate

[meza]

[blink1/libraries]$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=. && java -jar blink1.jar

even this produces the same

Hi Maza,
Take a look at the shell script:
https://github.com/todbot/blink1/blob/master/java/blink1-tool-java.sh
for an example of how to set up the various paths.

Also, if you are on Linux, you will probably need to rebuild libBlink1.so by doing a "make compile" and "make jar" in blink1/java

Hey,

Even the script does the same thing before and after rebuilding the so. :(

The Java wrapper under Linux hasn't been tested very extensively. We would appreciate any insight from people who have experience with Java on Linux.

I'll happily help once we solve this :)

Hi,
I've found a way to get this working:

1. cd blink1/commandline/hidapi/libusb
2. make -f Makefile.linux
3. copy the newly created libhidapi-libusb.so to your lib dir
4. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
5. export LD_PRELOAD=/libhidapi-libusb.so
6. run you java program

It's just a workaround and hopefully not needed once we figure how it's done the right way, but it works.

HTH,

Fred

Thanks, Fred, this is extremely useful.
I haven't had to use LD_PRELOAD in like a decade, I forget how it's different from LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Which distro of Linux did you do this on?

I updated the Java/Processing library zip bundle at:
http://thingm.com/blink1/downloads/blink1-java-processing-lib.zip
that should now out-of-the box for Linux.

If you are using this directly from java, just point your LD_LIBRARY_PATH and to the unzipped directory and add the blink1.jar to your jar path. On the command line, this looks something like:

unzip blink1-java-processing-lib.zip
export BLINK1LIB=`pwd`/blink1-java-processing-lib/blink1/library
java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djava.library.path=${BLINK1LIB} ${BLINK1LIB}/blink1.jar MyTestClass

Hi, Tod. The new Java/Processing library zip worked for me. Thank you.

I'm still running Kubuntu 10.04.04 LTS.
