Hello. First of all the java classpath needs both:
- kawa.jar
- your classes' directory
So the java command becomes:
java -cp "/path/to/kawa.jar:." mod1
If you try to run the above command it should give another error:
Error: Main method not found in class mod1, please define the main method as:
public static void main(String[] args)
or a JavaFX application class must extend javafx.application.Application
To solve this recompile using the --main flag
(https://www.gnu.org/software/kawa/Compiling.html):
kawa --main -C mod1.scm
Now it should work.
P.S. Why we need kawa.jar in classpath:
On my OS the full error was:
Error: Could not find or load main class mod1
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: gnu/expr/RunnableModule
gnu.expr.RunnableModule is a class in the Kawa codebase.
The output of javap on mod1.class is:
public class mod1 extends gnu.expr.ModuleBody implements java.lang.Runnable,gnu.expr.RunnableModule {
public static mod1 $instance;
public final void run(gnu.mapping.CallContext);
public static {};
public mod1();
public static void main(java.lang.String[]);
}
You can see that this java code depends on several classes defined in Kawa:
- gnu.expr.ModuleBody
- gnu.expr.RunnableModule
- gnu.mapping.CallContext
