This is a tool which automatically generates the Java code + and Java Native Interface code necessary to call C libraries. It is + also needed to build the other modules of JogAmp. +- JOGL (Java OpenGL). It is the main module of JogAmp. It provides + access to the APIs in the OpenGL, ES, and EGL specifications. The + module includes also a native windowing toolkit, NEWT. +- JOAL (Java OpenAL). It implements the Java bindings for OpenAL API + and is designed to provide hardware-supported 3D spatialized audio. +- JOCL (Java OpenCL). It provides the Java bindings for OpenCL API. + +By default this script builds the package to install by default the +modules Gluegen and JOGL. The build of JOAL is optional and enabled by +default but can be disabled passing the following environment variable + JOAL=no ./jogamp.SlackBuild + +The build of module JOCL is optional and disabled by default. To +enable it pass the following environment variable + JOCL=yes ./jogamp.SlackBuild + +Furthermore: + +1. The script requires the setting of the system environment + variable $JAVA_HOME that should be available with an usual + configuration. If not, please to set it before launch the script + export JAVA_HOME=<path to your JDK installation> + (for example: export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/openjdk17) + +2. The path of Java executables (java, javac, ecc.) should be included + in the system environment variable $PATH of root user. If not you + have to set a full path to $JAVA_HOME/bin as following + export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH + +3. The build requires an installed openJDK 17 compliant SDK available + in the SBo repository. This script is tested with the package + zulu-openJDK17 but it should work also with the openJDK17 package. + The build against jdk (8u361) or jdk19 packages is not sure. + +4. At the end, this slackbuild is still experimental because the + installation is not tested in runtime with the development of + applets and Java applications or the acquire as dependency by + packages that supports JogAmp. At the moment, the script installs + the JAR archives compatible with all platforms and the libraries, + but it is not sure if the compilers get access to these bindings. + So, it is possible that something still needs to be added or set in + the configuration post installation. If you would contribute, + please report to the mantainer for any issue or feedback to fix, + extend, and/or improve the slackbuild. |
