problem building SWT JNI [message #663949]

Where is the "JNI Generator" referenced in the build instructions? It's not in the SWT tools directory. Also, where does the "win32.mak" files referenced by "make_win32.mak" come from????

When you install the SWT tools, the JNI Generator is installed. And it runs in the background to generate the JNI code when required. See this page for more info --> http://eclipse.org/swt/jnigen.php

that's the link I have been looking at, the "SWT Tools Update Sites" link is dead.

And http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#howbuilddll says to unzip " <eclipseRoot>/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.<ws>.<os>.<arch>.source_X.X.X. <versionString>.zip " and I cannot find this file anywhere.

Is it embedded in another zip or has the filename changed?

I found it....now I am trying to figure out how to configure the build.bat file and whatever environment variables I need to set. You guys really do not make this easy....

I've gone through this a few weeks ago. The build system assumes you are
using windows sdk 2003 sp1 (free download, google it). Took me a while
to discover that.

Here are the steps I noted down:
- run the sdk setup as Administrator, otherwise it will fail the final
step of customizing the setenv command
- choose Complete installation (otherwise some includes will be missing)
- put
set MSSDK="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK"
in build.bat
- I had to modify make_win32.mak
# AWT_LIBS = "$(JAVA_HOME)\jre\bin\jawt.lib"
AWT_LIBS = "$(JAVA_HOME)\lib\jawt.lib"

I'm curious, why are you playing with swt-jni?

Cheers,
Carlo

looking into adding Windows 7 multi-touch support into SWT. I need to use visual studio 10.0 for the header files for this feature, will "windows sdk 2003 sp1" still work?

Sorry, I have no idea. Surely the swt-jni build system needs some love.

ok, it doesn't look like I can install the 2003 SDK on Windows 7; the installer reports an error and halts.

So I installed the latest and greatest and now I am trying to get it to work with Dev Studio 10.....and I get the following errors:

it appears to be having a problem resolving "BUTTON_IMAGELIST"

I did install it under Win 7 64 bit.

ok, so for 2 days now I have been openeing up this huge can or worms that started out as a simple process as documented on the Eclipse site to build the SWT JNI.....2 days later and I am still trying to get the Eclipse project confugured so that I can build/run the JNIGeneratorApp. THIS IS RIDICULOUS!!!!!! Does anyone have a detailed and accurate set of instructions of what is required to build the SWT JNI and any additional steps what will be necessary should I want to modify the JNI?????

I realize this is a public domain project but give me a break....if the documentation is incomplete and the steps are complicated then at least say so up front....and I thought Microsoft had poor documentation..... Sad

It is not clear from your previous post what is the error/problem you are seeing.
So, here are the steps:

1) If you have installed the SWT Tools, the JNIGenerator runs in the background and automatically generates the JNI code as and when required. The required C files are generated.

2) SWT uses "Windows Server 2003 SP1 SDK" to compile its Windows libraries. After you have it on your system, modify %MSSDK% in build.bat to point to it. Also set the correct path for vsvars32.bat in build.bat.

3) Find the build.xml under tasks/build.xml. Choose "Run As -> Ant Build...". Select the JRE tab, and check "Run in the same JRE as the workspace". Select the target in the targets tab based on your platform (for eg: build_win32_x86)
