History
Rob Greene e30da7e939 Rasbian being 32-bit seems to be a challenge now that AppleCommander has moved to a more modern variant of SWT. The new _appear_ to prevent 32-bit libraries. Pulling in the old library shows some differences in the SWT FontMetrics API (fontMetrics.getAverageCharacterWidth() vs. fontMetrics.getAverageCharWidth()).

org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.arm-3.8.2.jar Found that RPi 32-bit version was missing; punting at a configuration that may work based on prior efforts. 2022-01-13 19:18:29 -06:00

Notes for Raspberry Pi

  • Current target is Rasbian; 32-bit Rasbian and the 32-bit Rasberry Pi OS should also be ok. These are not part of the repository and are managed manually for now.
  • The Eclipse builds do appear to include a 64-bit version, so expecting that Rasberry Pi OS (64-bit) will be ok.

Updates

Process is manual.

  1. Go to http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/pool/main/s/swt4-gtk/ and grab the latest copy of the libswt-* libraries.
  2. Versions are super confusing. For instance, the files with 4.13.0 have a version.txt that suggests 4.924 as the version. None of these match what Eclipse is publishing. However, the Java manifest (META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) has a Bundle-Version entry that indicates 3.104.0. Knowing that the Eclipse published version is 3.118.0 and that version.txt indicates 4.948 suggests the bundle version is the correct version entry to use.
  3. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/138188/easily-unpack-deb-edit-postinst-and-repack-deb regarding unpacking of the deb files. 
    mkdir tmp
dpkg-deb -R libswt-gtk-4-java_4.13.0-1+b2_armhf.deb tmp
mkdir tmp2
dpkg-deb -R libswt-gtk-4-jni_4.13.0-1+b2_armhf.deb tmp2
  4. Look for the JAR files. We need the ones with .class files and some set of the .so files that are created. These need to be combined. Launching AppleCommander with the JAR should be sufficient to verify all code is in place. Probably.
  5. Name the file according to pattern and place in swt-lib.

NOTE: SWT4 seems to be 64-bit only? May need to pull earlier versions. These are at http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/pool/main/s/swt-gtk/
