JSFML - A Java binding for SFML

[Masthiks]

I use MinGW-get with the latest snapshot of SFML.

Hm, but where did you get the 64-bit extlibs (freetype, OpenAL-soft, etc)? I can't build SFML in 64-bit because there are only 32-bit versions of those in the repository.

[Masthiks]

I get the files from the directory "extlib/bin/x64" of GIT repository, and it works fine with SFML2. I think. Maybe I should test tonight :?

[pdinklag]

So you build SFML using Microsoft Visual C++ and JSFML using MinGW? Mixing those is probably not a good idea at all.

Still, it should be compilable. I'll look into setting everything up for 64-bit building, but I won't be able to test it until somebody builds the SFML dependencies for MinGW as 64-bit.

No, I build SFML using MinGW, I don't use Visual C++.

The compilation works fine but I have an application error when I try to use the audio module :?

EDIT: Ah, it's ok with x86 binaries of libsndfile-1.dll and openal32.dll. I thought that MinGW was also a 64-bit compiler... I understand the problem now.

I will change the build process to use Microsoft's Visual C++ compiler for Windows again, because I can't figure out how to build the SFML dependencies using mingw-w64.

The Windows SDK with C++ compilers should suffice to build JSFML then, the Visual Studio should not be required. However, it will probably be required to build SFML itself... anyway, more details will follow.

I changed the build system now to use MSVC++ on Windows, this way 64-bit is possible and works fine. I got rid of the cpptasks Ant plugin, it's just of no proper use if you want to compile with MSVC++.
