Any possible way to use Tokyo Cabinet in Eclipse? - tokyo-cabinet

Just spend 3 straight hours trying to solve the java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jtokyocabinet in java.library.path problem in Eclipse in Linux.
Downloaded TC and TC-Java sources,
Built them both using ./config --prefix=/usr (so everything "JNI" related should be in /usr/lib)
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib and CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:/usr/local/lib/tokyocabinet.jar" and exported both in .profile
Imported tokyocabinet.jar into the project.
Am I missing a setting other than the proper -Djava.library.path=. settings? I can't even find anything on the net about jtokyocabinet on the web or in the documentation. What's the secret sauce to getting this thing to work?

try to make a link to libjtokyocabinet.so...0 in your JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/i386.

it is because your code can not find tokyocabinet's *.so and *.a files, usually they are in /usr/local/lib, run the following command:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/local/lib
and then try your code again.

Have the same problem, in my case, using OpenSUSE 12.3 64 bits and Eclipse.
First, the kyotocabinet-java package can be downloaded from this repository:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/libraries:/c_c++/openSUSE_12.3/
This package provide /usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0 that is the library used by the kyotocabinet jar you can get from maven or the official site.
Looking for this lib I found that there is created a slink:
xxxx#xxxx:/usr/lib64> ls -al /usr/lib64/libjkyoto*
/usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1 -> libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0
/usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0
I just created a new slink without the ".1" at the end...
sudo ln -s libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0 libjkyotocabinet.so
/usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so -> /usr/lib64/libjkyotocabinet.so.1.1.0
And all worked alright, seems that
System.loadLibrary("jkyotocabinet");
don't work if the library name is ended with something different to ".so"

Yes, you're missing something. Eclipse controls its own classpath, so whatever you set up in the environment outside Eclipse is likely not to have any effect.
You need to go into the properties for your project, find the "Build Path" settings and add the path to your tc.jar (or jars) to your build path there.
It may be easier to set up a /lib directory within your eclipse project, copy your tokyo jar there and add that to your build path. That way, it becomes part of your project (and can move from Eclipse installation to Eclipse installation) rather than being an external system dependency.

Creating CMake project for libwebsocket

The title states the problem statement: I'm trying to create a CMake project utilizing the libwebsocket library, but I can't find any information for doing so.
Is there anyone who have tried this? A simple CMakeLists.txt for e.g. the test-server program would be much appreciated!
I've compiled and installed the library on my Ubuntu 14.04 machine.
EDIT: I would also like to know if anyone has experience in using the libwebsocket lib w/ C++?
EDIT 2:
After using #evadeflow's answer I'm able to run cmake and build the project. However now I get the following runtime error:
And here's an ls of the /usr/local/lib/ folder
It seems like the libwebsockets.so.7 file is not found?
From CMake:
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INCLUDE_DIRS} = /usr/local/lib
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INSTALL_DIR} = /usr/local
EDIT 3:
Solved edit 2 by:
Editing the file /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/lib.
Reference: https://lonesysadmin.net/2013/02/22/error-while-loading-shared-libraries-cannot-open-shared-object-file/
If you've already installed libwebsockets, something like this ought to work:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
find_package(PkgConfig)
pkg_check_modules(LIB_WEBSOCKETS REQUIRED libwebsockets)
get_filename_component(
LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INSTALL_DIR
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_LIBRARY_DIRS}
DIRECTORY
)
add_executable(
test-server
test-server/test-server.c
test-server/test-server-http.c
test-server/test-server-dumb-increment.c
test-server/test-server-mirror.c
test-server/test-server-status.c
test-server/test-server-echogen.c
)
target_link_libraries(
test-server
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_LIBRARIES}
)
set_target_properties(
test-server
PROPERTIES
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES
${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INCLUDE_DIRS}
LINK_FLAGS
"-L${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_LIBRARY_DIRS}"
COMPILE_DEFINITIONS
INSTALL_DATADIR="${LIB_WEBSOCKETS_INSTALL_DIR}/share"
)
This is basically a stripped-down version of what's in the CMakeLists.txt file from the libwebsockets github project, without all the platform- and build-specific conditionals.
I hope this is enough to satisfy your request for a 'simple' CMakeLists.txt example. I tested it with CMake version 2.8.12.2; it should work fine as-is if you've installed libwebsockets to its default prefix of /usr/local; however, if you installed to a different location, you will need to set PKG_CONFIG_PATH in the environment from which you invoke cmake.
Also, as explained in the CMake documentation, you will need to replace DIRECTORY with PATH in the get_filename_component() invocation if you're using CMake 2.8.11 or earlier.
UPDATE: Regarding the file not found error from your follow-up comment, this is almost certainly due to libwebsocket.so[.7] not being on the linker's default path. There are at least three ways to fix this, but the easiest way to verify that this is the problem would be to just launch the app from the terminal using:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./test-server
If it works, you know that was the issue. (Oops—I see you've figured it out in the meantime. Yeah, updating /etc/ld.so.conf is another way. Or, you can force CMake to link to the static version of libwebsockets [as described in this answer] is another. But I like your solution best.)
UPDATE: One thing that wasn't mentioned about /etc/ld.so.conf is that you generally need to run sudo /sbin/ldconfig after editing it in order to update the shared library cache. And—when setting non-default paths for a particular application—many people consider it good form to add a new 'sub-config file' in /etc/ld.so.conf.d rather than edit the global ldconfig file. (For the case of adding /usr/local/lib, though, this is such a common requirement I'd be inclined to dump it in the global config, which is what lots of Linux distros do, anyway.)

How to build OpenEXR using cmake for windows 7 VS2013

I have encountered problem in building a solution of OpenEXR using Cmake for VS2013.
FYI, i have installed the prerequisite of OpenEXR, ILMBase and specify the path in system path variables. However, when i configure Cmake to produce solution for VS2013, the ILMBase package prefix cant be located.
Is there any solution to this??
if you still have the problem: Follow the readme, so don't use the cmake gui, but type everything in the command line (which includes specifying ILMBASE_PACKAGE_PREFIX)

"'portaudio.h' file not found" error in XCode 5.1

I've downloaded the portaudio codebase and compiled it fully with source, and installed it to my system with these commands:
./configure
make
sudo make install
But XCode is complaining to me, even when I put -lportaudio in the Other Linker Flags for the project settings.
I've researched this problem and tried whatever I could find on Stack Overflow, but there was no decisive answer that would work for me. Any advice on how to fix this?
I'm using an older version of XCode and haven't bothered looking at how the interface might have changed in the newer versions, but this is generally solved for me by modifying the User Search Paths under your project settings. Look at the screenshot, add /usr/local/include to Header Search Paths and make Always Search User Paths "Yes." That should do the trick
Edit:
One more thing to note, this is only /usr/local/include because that's the default install directory for the portaudio.h file in the portaudio build (as it is with many libraries).
If you have a different prefix other than /usr/local/include, add that instead.

(Mac OSX) Adding libraries to C -specifically gnuplot

I am a begineer trying to get code in C. I am working on a Mac and using xcode. My only past experience has been with java using eclipse and everything was pretty straight forward. I have almost no experience with terminal.
I am required to learn a bit of C for a project I will be working on and the learning of syntax is coming along okay, but I am at a point where I need to include some libraries in my c program. Specifically I am attempting to make plots with gnuplots.
I have downloaded gnuplot-4.6.3 from their repository and I do not even know how to install the files. I have been looking around and have tried using terminal to use the ./configure command when I am in the gnuplot-4.6.3 directory. But I really don't know what I am doing so I don't even know where to go next or what to do next.
Sorry if this is so trivial, I honestly just have never done this before and I cannot find a good tutorial on what to do.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
I would recommend using MacPorts for installing third-party tools and libraries. It knows the dependencies required and will install them as part of the installation.
Download it from macports.org.
Install it, and allow it to modify your ~/.profile so that /opt/local/bin is in your $PATH (any issue then just do export PATH=/opt/local/bin:$PATH from the command line).
sudo port selfupdate
sudo port install gnuplot
Now that will install the library into /opt/local/lib with the include files in /opt/local/include, so now just add that library to your Xcode project. Select the target and in the Build Phases tab open up the Link Binary With Libraries and press the + button and select Add Other. Now find /opt/local/lib/libgnuplot.a (I am assuming that's what it's called; I don't have it installed my self):
Now add /opt/local/include to your Header Search Paths so the compiler can find the gnuplot header files. Select the target and in Build Setting type in "header search" in the search box. Now double-click on the Header Search Path in the target column (or the project column to the right) and add /opt/local/include:
It's fine! You're learning then! Keep up! When I hit this kind of problem you may want to learn about the basis for linux gcc/g++ compilation and linking processes. Then you should learn Cmake and Automake, which are basically packages to configure projects before compiling building.
A typical (good) project in Unix systems build with commands
./configure
make
sudo make install
or
cmake CMakelists.txt
make all
sudo make install
That's what you need to do after downloading a source tarball online to install unix programs.
Now since you are using Mac, there are so-called package installers, one which is macports and homebrew. I personally suggest homebrew than macports here (I've tried both, although macports still outnumber homebrew with the number of repos, homebrew has the newest support, especially when upgrading to a new OS). So to install homebrew you can do
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
Execute that in your terminal (see http://brew.sh/) for more information.
Then you could simply install GNUplot by
brew install gnuplot

program g++ not found in path

I am using Eclipse for a C project. I created a new Project by going to New->C project->Executable->Empty Project, Linux gcc toolchain.
When I add a new .c file, I get "program 'g++' not found in path".
How do I get rid of this? I'm not even using C++.
I had similar problem and it is solved by
Installing g++ The GNU C++ complier using ubuntu software centre and
Changing in -
Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Build -> Settings -> Discovery -> CDT GCC Build in Complier Settings [Shared]
From: ${COMMAND} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}"
To : /usr/bin/${COMMAND} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}"
I hope it helps.
For posterity I'm going to post my own solution to this problem. None of the answers above or on related StackOverflow questions helped; most referred to menu entries that didn't exist, and the ones I could try did nothing. I searched other sites as well; there were about 6 different answers repeated many times, and none helped.
Short answer: I blew away the Eclipse install and replaced it. Then it worked. For me at least it wasn't a project or configuration option (at least not one I could get to from the GUI); something in the Eclipse program folder had gotten tweaked and only a new install could repair the problem.
I'm doing Android development using the "ADT" (Android Developer Tools) build of Eclipse. I did something to the configuration that made it start giving the above error (actually two errors, for gcc and g++ both). And I tried plenty of potential solutions (in addition to my own searching for options that might help) with no success.
Thing is, I didn't NEED gcc or g++ in the path. I'm doing Android development, and while both are used in the build process, I'm not using Eclipse to do the builds; I use the Android build system. And the C/C++ Build/Discovery options didn't even give me an option for setting paths for gcc or g++. Other answers I found elsewhere referenced menu entries that don't exist, and most seemed to be about helping people to use the normal C/C++ build within Eclipse, which I didn't need to do.
So I used this opportunity to download the latest ADT package from Google, and then I ran the new one, importing the existing project into a new workspace (just in case the old workspace was corrupted or otherwise part of the problem). No more annoying gcc/g++ error.
I got the same error while I was using "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers."
Install Eclipse from Ubuntu Software Center and then download and install Eclipse CDT.
To install CDT, open Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Archieve...
Then give CDT path to there. That's all
I was able to fix the problem by selecting
project(right click in Project Explorer on your project)->properties->Tool Chain Editor
and switching the Current Toolchain: to Android GCC and Current Buolder: to Android Builder
I also had the same problem. I did not have this error running my program but after a adding, including different Api and paths , probably unintentionally some changes happened in my Path that I could not fix it.
I could fix this error by going to Properties and just restore default for all the Tabs.
