ooopss, sorry i have forgotten step number 6 :)
Hi, i have successfully run J3D applets on Netscape Linux,
as i see this is common question here is a briefly guide
for future users, maybe someone can include it in a FAQ.
This has been probed with class and jar files (even so unsigned)
Configuration: Machine AMD k6-2 500Mhz 64Mb RAM
Distribution RedHat 6.0
Kernel 2.2.14-1.3.0
Browser Netscape Communicator 4.7
jdk1.2.2 rc4
plugin 1.2.2px
j3d 1.1.1 prev 1
Steps:
*-optional **-required
*1.- install jdk1.2.2 example in /usr/local
:this create /usr/local/jdk1.2.2
**2.-
install j3d, if you want to be with jdk you must rename
jk1.2.2 to jdk1.2 because the j3d installer unpack in
a jdk1.2 directory; so after that go back rename jdk1.2.2
:this create many files including
jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/libJ3D.so and libj3daudio.so
jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/ext/j3daudio.jar,
j3dcore.jar,
j3dutils.jar,
vecmath.jar
**3.- install plugin in your home directory
:this create files like
$HOME/.netscape/java/lib/javaplugin.jar,
libjavaplugin12.so
**4.- copy or make symbolic link
$HOME/.netscape/java/lib/j3daudio.jar
-> jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/ext/j3daudio.jar
repeat this for each jar mentioned above
this would be replaced if there is a variable for
netscape like: setenv MOZILLA_CLASSPATH ...
but as i know there isn't.
*5.- Be sure you have something like this in your .cshrc
or respective file
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/java/jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386
or copy (link) libJ3D.so and libj3daudio.so
to $HOME/.netscape/java/lib/i386
**6.- Convert you html file with HTMLConverter to use
plugin, j3d only works with jdk1.2
Note: Many people have Mesa libraries(libMesaGL*.so.3.0) inside:
jdk1.2.2/jre/lib/i386/
please include them in LIBRARY_PATH or do their links too
