Those instructions used to work at least 6 months ago:
1. Where to obtain J3D for Linux?
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/java3d/1.1.1/i386/
2. Download the java3d1_1_1pre-v1-linux-sdk_tar.bz2
3. Unzip the file using bzcat
bzcat
java3d1_1_1pre-v1-linux-sdk_tar.bz2>java3d1_1_1pre-v1-linux-sdk.tar
4. Untar the file
tar xvf java3d1_1_1pre-v1-linux-sdk.tar
5. Copy the following shared libraries from j3d source directory
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/j3d_v1_1_1/jdk1.2/jre/lib/i386
to the corresponding intallation directory:
//homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/i386
cp libJ3D.so* //homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/i386
cp libj3daudio.so* //homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/i386
6. Copy the following .jar files from j3d source directory
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/j3d_v1_1_1/jdk1.2/jre/lib/ext
to the corresponding intallation directory:
//homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/ext
cp j3daudio.jar /homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/ext
cp j3dcore.jar /homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/ext
cp j3dutils.jar /homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/ext
cp vecmath.jar /homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/jre/lib/ext
7. Copy (optional) the java3d directory from
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/j3d_v1_1_1/jdk1.2/demo
to the corresponding installation directory:
//homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/demo
cp -r java3d //homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/demo
8. Copy (optional) the java3d-utils-src.jar from
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/j3d_v1_1_1/jdk1.2
to the corresponding installation directory:
//homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/
cp java3d-utils-src.jar //homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2
9. Download MesaGL library from http://www.mesa3d.org/download.html
MesaLib-3.1.tar.gz (1.6MB)
MesaDemos-3.1.tar.gz (1.1MB)
10. unzip and untar it
gunzip MesaLib-3.1.tar.gz
tar xvf MesaLib-3.1.tar
gunzip MesaDemos-3.1.tar.gz
tar xvf MesaDemos-3.1.tar
11. Installtion process
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/MesaGL/Mesa-3.1/configure
12) To build the Mesa libraries run:
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/MesaGL/Mesa-3.1/make
13) To install the Mesa libraries go to admin mode and run make install:
su jacob
Password:
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/MesaGL/Mesa-3.1/make install
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/MesaGL/Mesa-3.1/make check
//homes/nikom/work/Java/J3D/downloads/MesaGL/Mesa-3.1/make exec
Once you see the Mesa applications running, you can proceed toward
java3d
installation.
14) Go to the directory
/usr/local/lib
15) Create softlink from libGL.so.1.2.0 to libMesaGL.so.3
(libMesaGL.so.3->libGL.so.1.2.0)
ln -s libGL.so.1.2.0 libMesaGL.so.3
16) Add /usr/local/lib directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH path
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH .:/local/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/X11:/usr/local/lib
or incrementally
setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH ${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/lib
17) Got to the directory
//homes/nikom/work/Java/jdk1.2/demo/java3d/
and run the software from those subdirectories
Good luck,
