[Java-gnome-developer] Unable to Compile Example

[Dominik G. <dkg...@gm...>]

Hi,

maybe this is a stupid question but I seem to be unable to compile
the ExampleDrawingInExposeEvent.java example. This is the output I get
on my Ubuntu (10.10) system:

dominik@EeePC:~/Desktop$ javac -cp /usr/share/java/gtk.jar:.
ExampleDrawingInExposeEvent.java 
ExampleDrawingInExposeEvent.java:87: cannot find symbol
symbol  : constructor Context(org.gnome.gdk.EventExpose)
location: class org.freedesktop.cairo.Context
                 cr = new Context(event);
                      ^
1 error

Did I forget to include something in my classpath? I was looking for the
org.freedesktop package but could not find it... Any hints as to what I
might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,
   Dominik.

What version of java-gnome do you have?

I've tried it with the one that was in the ubuntu repository (don't know
which version that was) and afterwards compiled the java-gnome 4.0.18
from source.

Hmm, well .18 should work, eg:

tar xvf java-gnome-4.0.18.tar.bz2
cd java-gnome-4.0.18
./configure && make -j3
cd doc/examples/cairo
javac -cp ../../../tmp/gtk-4.0.jar ExampleDrawingInExposeEvent.java

That should compile fine.

I'm sorry, I just found out I forgot to set the prefix for the configure
script and was therefore working with the wrong jar file... Shame on
me :(

Nah, not at all. That's computing for you. I'm glad to hear you figured
it out.

There's also a PPA, where Guillaume Mazoyer has been doing a great job
of maintaining packages of the latest releases. I'd use that in
preference to whatever Ubuntu hasn't packaged yet.
https://launchpad.net/~java-gnome/+archive/ppa

though now that you've learned to build from source that'll make hacking
on with java-gnome itself much easier, should you ever need to.
