Hi all,

We're developing small SWT application using Eclipse 3.8.0 64bit on
Linux Mint 64bit.

At first we imported 64bit SWT (swt-4.3.2-gtk-linux-x86_64) and JDK
1.8.0_05 64bit and everything worked fine.

Then we decided that we're going to deploy the app on 32bit client only,
so we switch to 32bit SWT (swt-4.3.2-gtk-linux-x86) and JDK 1.8.0_05
32bit but still developing on the same 64bit Eclipse and Linux box.

When we run the application it threw the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Could not
load SWT library. Reasons:
no swt-pi-gtk-4335 in java.library.path
no swt-pi-gtk in java.library.path
<home>/.swt/lib/linux/x86/libswt-pi-gtk-4335.so: libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Can't load library: <home>/.swt/lib/linux/x86/libswt-pi-gtk.so

at org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Unknown Source)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.<clinit>(Unknown Source)
at com.modulariti.viewer.AppViewer.main(AppViewer.java:14)

We've checked that <home>/.swt/lib/linux/x86 was always created and the
following files were there:

libswt-gtk-4335.so
libswt-pi-gtk-4335.so

We have search forums and some suggested to move/create link from
/usr/lib/jni/*so to <home>/.swt/lib/linux/x86 but it did not solve the
problem.
We also tried adding VM arguments
-Djava.library.path=<home>/.swt/lib/linux/x86 and did not work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.


Regards,

Setya

Hi, I'm not an expert, but I decided to reply and share my two cents as these forums seem mostly dead, which is a shame.

I too develop for multiple platforms. I write the code on a Mac, while my customers use Windows. To build and debug application on the target platform I start virtual machine right before creating a release, debug my code there so it works well under win32 and build it using maven that is configured to use the right libraries according to the platform it is running on.

So just work with 64bit libraries on your development platform and install a (virtual) machine with your target 32-bit OS, set up a development environment there and configure your build platform (eclipse/maven/gradle...) to produce working builds for either platform. It is not ideal, but it simply works.

I hope that someone else will reply and solve your issue so that you won't need virtual machines, but well, try this first Smile
Tomas

Hi,

I've solved the problem, it's all about dependency:

Below is what I did on the Linux box for those who have the same problem:

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-0:i386
sudo apt-get install libxtst6:i386
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf:i386
sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-murrine:i386


Thanks & Regards,

Setya
