Help, Setting classpath, using external java libraries with Kawa

Help, Setting classpath, using external java libraries with Kawa

[Vasantha Ganesh]

Hello Bothner,
  This is probably a noob question. In Java while compiling and using
external libraries  we use -classpath option. How to use external java
libraries with Kawa?

I read https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Compiling.html

Then I tried to compile scheme program with `--main` and `-C` options
and generated a .class file. Then I tried to  run it with Java like a
normal class file by setting -classpath option, but I get:

Error: Could not find or load main class somescript

I also tried the -J option with kawa and I get

Error: Could not find or load main class

I also tried to set the CLASSPATH to the external library (jar file),
it does not work.

If I understand your question correctly then it seems you need to use
the -D option to define java.library.path suitably.  Example:

  kawa -Djava.library.path="/where/the/java/libs/are:/another/one:/so/on"

Show us the actual commands you're trying, including the command used
to create the jar file.

Both setting CLASSPATH and using -J should work.

Note you have to use a separate -J option for each "word":

kawa -J-cp -Jfoo.jar

is roughly equivalent to

java -cp foo.jar kawa.repl

The java.library.path relates to native libraries (.so/.dll, not .class or .jar files).
It don't think it is relevant here.

Hello,
  I'm trying to convert this(http://lpaste.net/354170) Java code into
Scheme(Kawa) (http://lpaste.net/354171).

I ran this for java and it ran without hickups,

java -cp /usr/share/java/jnr-ffi.jar:.:/usr/lib/java/jffi.jar:/usr/lib/java/jffi-native.jar:/usr/share/java/objectweb-asm/asm.jar
Getpid.java

and for kawa, I ran this:

kawa -J -cp /usr/share/java/jnr-ffi.jar:.:/usr/lib/java/jffi.jar:/usr/lib/java/jffi-native.jar:/usr/share/java/objectweb-asm/asm.jar
getpid.scm

The exact error that I get is:

Error: Could not find or load main class

Thank you,

Vasantha Ganesh K.

for java it was actually:

java -cp /usr/share/java/jnr-ffi.jar:.:/usr/lib/java/jffi.jar:/usr/lib/java/jffi-native.jar:/usr/share/java/objectweb-asm/asm.jar
Getpid

There can't be any space after -J - it has to be the same option.
And as I wrote: you have to repeat the -J for each Java option:

kawa -J-cp -J/usr/share/java/jnr-ffi,jar:etc:etc getpid.scm

The -J option works the same way as in javac when it uses -J to pass
options to the JVM it is running on.
