Error in the library alien-breed

[pulsar drum]

I was trying to run the game when the error occurred. I don't even have /tmp directory, so how can I solve the problem?

[crystal mountain]

<@&987246399047479336> please have a look, thanks.

[gleaming moat]

this looks like a warning, not an error

also, check hidden folders

[pulsar drum]

Already did, found nothing

[pulsar drum]

When I run the game, the following occurs:

It doesn't even start

[gleaming moat]

looks like it was compiled for x86

[pulsar drum]

I've got x86

[gleaming moat]

apparently not

you're running an x64 jdk

[pulsar drum]

But how to change it?

Eventually, I need to run the game

[gleaming moat]

either recompile the game for x64, or use an x32 JVM

[pulsar drum]

The file is not mine, so the second option is suitable

[pulsar drum]

But if the game was compiled for x86, why do I need x32 JVM then?

[gleaming moat]

x32 and x86 are synonymous

colloquially

[pulsar drum]

How to use x32?

Because I'm new to java and operating systems

[gleaming moat]

you can have multiple java versions installed

[lunar island]

This isn't about java

[gleaming moat]

just that when you type java, only one will be picked
but, you can simply write out the full path to java that you want to run

[lunar island]

The problem is that lwjgl lib is the wrong one

[gleaming moat]

that's why I said to recompile for x64

but it's not an option, apparently

[lunar island]

@pulsar drum how did you get that libwjgl, was it with the game ?

[pulsar drum]

I just downloaded the file with the game

[gleaming moat]

it's in /tmp, which means it came from the jar archive

it got extracted to tmp

[lunar island]

Where did you get this game from ?

[pulsar drum]

The game file was downloaded from my OOP course (by the university) page

[lunar island]

Then report this to the uni

[pulsar drum]

The problem is: it works fine on my friend's laptop, he's got Windows though

[lunar island]

He is probably using an older version of java made for x86

So well

https://adoptium.net/fr/temurin/releases/?arch=x86&version=11&os=windows

Download and install this one

@pulsar drum

And report to your uni that they should update their game, it's not normal that you have such error @pulsar drum

[lunar island]

Ah huh

[pulsar drum]

Thank you, I will, however, I cannot do that right now since the semester hasn't started yet

[lunar island]

@gleaming moat what would be the name of the arch for amd 32bits?

[lunar island]

Tell them to update their lwjgl lib to 64 bits because 32 bits is less and less supported

[gleaming moat]

apparently, temurin doesn't provide x86 linux binaries

maybe openjdk does

[pulsar drum]

Thank you, it's probably because the website of the course is old

[lunar island]

https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-22&show-old-builds=true#downloads-table-zulu

Found this @pulsar drum @gleaming moat

Ah oups

Well fixed

[kind hearth]

bruh his os isnt windows

[lunar island]

Azul has 32 bits for linux

[lunar island]

Yes the link is broken, not my fault

But you can select java 11 32 bits for linux here

[pulsar drum]

The second one, right?

[gleaming moat]

yeah

[pulsar drum]

How to install it from zip?

[gleaming moat]

just unzip it and it should be ready to run

[kind hearth]

cant you install from .deb or .rpm?

[pulsar drum]

I can via .rpm

[pulsar drum]

Does it work like that?

[kind hearth]

why dont you install with rpm then?

[pulsar drum]

Already did, thank you

But still not working

[mystic raptor]

Which java is it running

if you install with zip, you need to provide the full path to java

[pulsar drum]

I've removed jdk-22

Now it's just like that

[mystic raptor]

Right

what terminal are you running?

[pulsar drum]

Command prompt

[mystic raptor]

it looks like you're running some kind of virtualization

it's running for linux

or

and it's trying to detect X11, which is what handles everything display relaten on linux

hmmmm

[pulsar drum]

Do you have fedora?

[mystic raptor]

I don't

[pastel harbor]

guys, I want to know the difference between 64-bit and 32-bit java operating environment.do you know?

[mystic raptor]

Hey, if you want to ask your own questions, please open another help thread

This one is for the question jaden asked

[pastel harbor]

sorry

[gleaming moat]

You're not supposed to run java, since that still points to your main installed java.

You're supposed to run the java binary directly from the package you downloaded

[pulsar drum]

How to do that?

[gleaming moat]

do you know how to run a file in linux?

[pulsar drum]

sudo chmod +x ?

[gleaming moat]

oh actually, I think this works

it picked up the correct java

so the issue now is that Swing apparently doesn't support Wayland, which you are evidently running

since if you don't run x11, you must run wayland

all of which is to say that the application won't be able to run on your linux machine 🙂

[pulsar drum]

I'm running x11

[gleaming moat]

try setting the env variable then

[pulsar drum]

Still doesn't work

[fickle elk]

a 32-bit java won't run graphic stuff on a 64 bit x11

[lunar island]

Ah

Welp

@pulsar drum then go back to the previous version of java you have and ask your uni to fix this

[pulsar drum]

Oh, man

[pulsar drum]

Okay, seems the only option

[lunar island]

I mean, alternative is to compile this lib yourself or find it somewhere

[pulsar drum]

Oh, I'm not really good at that 😄

[marsh linden]

i mean, if you can find it online we can fix it probably

[pulsar drum]

Do you mean the game?

[marsh linden]

sure?

whatever this is

we can just upgrade it to a version of lwjgl that supports 64 bit linux

[pulsar drum]

Okay, then I will ask where to find the game

[pulsar drum]

And what files do you need? The library?

[marsh linden]

Do I need? MBIC we are gonna teach you how to do this

[pulsar drum]

That's even better!

But what's MBIC?

[marsh linden]

my brother in christ

[pulsar drum]

Oh, are you a believer?

[marsh linden]

no
