JSyphon - a Java Native Interface for Syphon
Currently JSyphon has been tested with JOGL via Processing, and LWJGL.
The Test package for JSyphon relies on LWJGL, so if you want to use our test class, be sure to download the LWJGL binaries and place the uncompressed folders inside lib directory, so you have something like:
- Readme.txt
- ant
- bin
- jar
- lib/lwjgl
- native_libs
- native_src
- src
-
After cloning the repository, use
git submodule update --initto pull in the Syphon-Framework and Shared repos -
Build jsyphon.jar, by running the build script inside the ant folder. The resulting jar file will be placed inside the jar folder.
-
Generate the headers by running the script native_src/gen_headers.sh
-
Compile the XCode Project to build the native JSyphon JNI libray, named "libJSyphon.jnilib". Build "libJSyphon.jnilib", which includes the Syphon framework, and the JNI code to run in your java app. The compiled "libJSyphon.jnilib" is copied into the "native_libs" folder, where you can then load it in Java using System.load or System.loadLibrary depending on your path setups. We suggest System.loadLibrary.

In order to build versions of libJSyphon and Syphon that are compatible with OSX 10.6, when using XCode 4.4 or higher, you would need to install the MacOSX 10.6 SDK separately. This stackoverflow thread might be useful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11989007/where-to-get-sdk-10-6-for-xcode

To experiment with the JSyphon examples, we provide an Eclipse project which you can import into your workspace, and experiment with "ServerTest.java" and "ClientTest.java".
