RC3: Build Sikuli native code --- no longer supported

Asked by heri

Hello,

Sorry if my questions are already posted but I haven't found answers in different post I have looked for.
I have tried to build sikuli-script source code, so I have followed build-win32.txt file for that.

I generate makefiles with Cmake :
#cmake -G "NMake Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
But when I build sikuli-script with nmake :
#nmake

First error :
I have an error with VNCNatice.dir : include problem with rfb\rfbclient.h cannot found
I wanted to build my sikuli-script so I have commented all lines concerned about VNCNative and resolve this problem later. So my build seems ok. I have a sikuli-script.jar

Second error:
I put this sikuli-script.jar in my Java Code. Then, I have a second error like :
java.io.IOException: Unable to find library META-INF/lib/Win32Util.dll on classpath

with a simple main using #Screen s = new Screen();

I have checked sikuli's script (initial .jar) and my sikuli-script so I see that the difference is the path :
- META-INF\lib\Win32Util.dll (initial .jar)
- META-INF\lib\Debug\Win32Util.dll (my build .jar)

Please can you tell me if you have idea to fix my errors.

Thank you so much.

sorry, but RC3 is no longer supported with respect to system specific topics like build from source.

Have a look at the followup: http://sikulix.com

Thank you for your answer.

So, please where can I find source code which still supported ?

Thank you

Yes, I have looked but there are .jar file not a link like here : https://github.com/sikuli/sikuli where code source can be downloaded

Sorry, I'm a novice ... if my question seems idiot :$

So if you are a novice, why are you looking for source code and not for ready to use packages?

No need to build anything from sources.

I have to admit: the link to the sources is somewhat "hidden" (but at the top is a ->GitHub link that I will rename to Sources ;-) and further down there are some "how to contribute …" information as well)

Actually, I'm an intern and my task aims to have information about using opencv in Sikuli maybe in order to approve opencv working in sikuli for choosing well target.

So I thought If I need to understand working's Sikuli and using opencv I have to read all documentations about but If I need modify or test to understant working I have to build source code. I hope I'm clear.

As I understand, opencv using is a native code so I have made a project for Java code with sikuli-script.jar then I have tried to build native code (in the old version which not supported).

That's the context of my issue.

When using Java, then there is no need with current OpenCV, to step down to the native code level, since recent OpenCV provides a Java layer and library.

For version 2 I plan to completely get rid of native code and I have already implemented (switched off currently) most of the OpenCV stuff in Java (classes ImageFinder and ImageFind).

The original OpenCV C++ wrapper from RC3 is (nearly) still the same in version 1.1.0.

The sources and build information for the C++ stuff is available in
StuffContainer/LibsBuild
... for Windows it is very complex and tricky.

... but believe me: the sources are a mess (and I am always grateful, that is still works ;-)

For Linux the setup is able to build the VisionProxy on the run, if the prereqs are fulfilled.

Recommendation: If you really want to make any tests or approvements, you should really use the latest 1.1.0

Hi !

Thank you for your explanation.
Just one question, I think I read 1.0.1version is the latest stable version but you advice to take 1.1.0 ?

Revision history for this message
RaiMan (raimund-hocke) said : 		#11

--- 1.0.1 stable ...
... in the sense, that there will not be anymore updates or fixes for this version.

--- 1.1.0 is currently in state pre final ...
... means stable about features, but still some bugs to fix.

For you especially on Windows I recommend 1.1.0

Can you help with this problem?
