Arch Linux

Sorry for the delay, updated to version 0.6a

New version is out - Package name changed to starsector:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/starsector/

More info:
http://fractalsoftworks.com/2013/01/04/starsector-0-54-1a-release/

update to 0.52.1a-RC4

updated pkg to 0.52a-RC2
- stripped lwjgl, the shipped one is used again

update to 0.51a-RC3

new version. tested it with java 7 64bit. lwjgl version 2.8.3 is being used.

Did you get any answer?

Maybe also some kind of bug with java7 and lwjgl: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7-dev/2011-August/002256.html
Best solution could then be provided from fractal softworks. Will try to contact them tomorrow.

Just notized that if i rename the liblwjgl64.so in /usr/lib/starfarer/ to liblwjdl.so i get this error java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /usr/lib/starfarer/liblwjgl.so: libjawt.so: Kann die Shared-Object-Datei nicht öffnen: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden.

Minecraft is working but I think I needed to do this http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL I'll try java 6 tomorrow.

Still very odd.
Are other lwjgl games (minecraft, revengeofthetitans, ...) working for you? (in case you got one of these)
I can't reproduce your problem on my computer, but I still think it has something to do with java7.
Are you still getting this error with openjdk6 installed?

It doesn't seem to fix the problem for me. It still gives the same errors. If I don't copy starfarer/native/linux/ to /usr/lib/starfarer it says lwgl not in path and if I copy it I get the erro with the wrong elf class.

This should fix the problem. (It does on i386) - can you confirm it's fixed for x86_64?

Ok this seems to be a problem with java 7 ( I can confirm it on jre7-openjdk ) in combination with lwjgl.
Working on a fix.

If i use the modified starfarer.sh I get the same error as if I use your package build.

Why am I alway posting the same comment over and over? I didn't clicked more than one time on send.

That's odd. I would have guessed you are using a 32-bit system (since I tested it on 64-bit).
It was working for me on 64-bit when I uploaded it.

Since your first log said "java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no lwjgl in java.library.path" I guessed that the problem is in the PKGBUILD.

Can you try to modify the starfarer.sh in the unpacked tar.gz from fractal softworks to this http://pastebin.com/smtZ60xh and see if it still works for you?

The fix isn't working I think tihs is because I'm using x86_64 and know I'm using the 32 bit libs together with the 64bit java. Heres the new log: http://pastebin.com/xFht6Lup

As a temporary workaround you could maybe try to copy the content from starfarer/native/linux/ to /usr/lib/starfarer.
Or use this PKGBUILD: http://pastebin.com/W8b8gdMt

Please tell me if this doesn't fix the problem.

Thats because the package from fractal softworks already contains a 32-bit jvm. Since you cant use this one without multilibs on 64-bits the PKGBUILD won't copy it.
What architecture are you using? (uname -a). What files are in "/usr/lib/starfarer" ? Thanks in advance.

I realized that if I try to start your aur package it say java 1.7 detected, but if I try to start the Version I downloaded myself it says java 1.6 detected but I don't think I've installed java 6.

Just tell me if you need more information. And thank you for maintaining the aur package.

Thanks for the report, I will investigate on this soon :)

There seems to be a Problem with LWJGLand your aur package. The "normal" version is working fine, but when I try to start your aur package, I get this error. http://pastebin.com/xbBTS91P
The problem seems to be that lwjgl cannot be found.
