So I have been trying to get this to work.

I tried using wine, and even wine64, neither of those appear to work though it sounds like that resolves some various issues on Linux. I know when I did use it on Linux it would sometimes have a problem with repeating a control button over and over until I pressed it again.

Since this would be using Linux compat I am guessing it would have the same issues. Thus, I attempted to use wine, without any luck.

I also got the errors mentioned above when trying to use Sun Java. I tried version 6 and 7.

However, just now I tried installing phpeclipse, which failed with something to do with openjdk, but now when I do java -version it says:

java version "1.6.0_07"
Diablo Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b02)
Diablo Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b23, mixed mode)

Now when I do java -jar minecraft.jar I get this:

> java -jar minecraft.jar
java.lang.NullPointerException
	at net.minecraft.GameUpdater.fatalErrorOccured(GameUpdater.java:894)
	at net.minecraft.GameUpdater.loadJarURLs(GameUpdater.java:230)

	at net.minecraft.Launcher$1.run(Launcher.java:84)

In Minecraft it says:
Failed to launch
Fatal error occurred (2): null

So does this help any? I don't know what to do about that. Any idea what the problem is?

OK, since then I have discovered thats because that is a downgraded java version which doesn't even work.

I get the same error.

Aside from this forum thread I found this:
http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/...-with-sun-jdk/

And this page:

I also found this:
http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tu...s/Update_LWJGL

However updating it didn't work. Perhaps I can figure out how to build it from source. Has anyone tried that? Why wouldn't it work with linux compat?

I have since found some more links which I am attempting to get working but so far having issues getting things to compile.

These are related. The first one explains the 2nd one.

I have currently been following this guide to try and fix the minecraft PBI. So far I have gotten all the libraries *except* libLWJGL to rebuild successfully. Now I am not a java programmer, so if you want to take a look at the results and offer any suggestions, here are the links:

Code: http://trac.pcbsd.org/browser/pbi/mo...st-portmake.sh

Result (Do a search for "Step 3: LWJGL" to get to the relevant part): Find the "build.log" for minecraft-client on http://pbibuild.pcbsd.org (32-bit) or http://pbibuild664.pcbsd.org (64-bit)

Thanks!

That might have been the same place it was failing for me. However the one thing I am trying to do with a bit of difficulty is to build them on 8.2 which they said works on that first link.

I am attempting to do that right now but for some reason have all sorts of silly unrelated problems in the way. So maybe it just wasn't meant to be. But I won't accept that and I won't give up until it works, one way or the other.

I am not much of a java coder either and so tend to stay away from it as much as possible. So if anyone can help please do!

Maybe it could be the wrong environment variables being set somehow or being set wrongly. I did some searching and saw something that said to use setenv instead of export. But maybe that is just from the command line and not a script. Because it seems like it is having problems finding this:
package net.java.games.input does not exist

Or perhaps there was also a specific revision of the jinput lib used which isn't mentioned.

[ty2u]

I got the lwjgl thing to build by using revision 235 of jinput. However I don't know if thats what did it or if its because I copied the jinput.jar and jutils.jar into the lwjgl/libs folder and used this from the command prompt before doing the ant commands for it:
setenv CLASSPATH ~/lwjgl/libs/jinput.jar:~/lwjgl/libs/jutils.jar

I copied it all over the old files, even deleted the jinput libs like it says can be done but I still get the same error: Exception in thread "Minecraft main thread" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Can't load library: /home/osioaf99/.minecraft/bin/natives/liblwjgl.so

So I don't know what else can be done.

I followed these instructions several months ago: http://foo.poildetroll.net/minecraft...ON_FREEBSD.txt

I was able to get the libraries built and have the minecraft client running natively with openjdk6. I think the problem may be that the minecraft-client port uses linux jdk

[Beanpole]

I just finished creating a custom-built PBI module for Minecraft that works perfectly. Rather than using the minecraft ports (with the linux java) I am using OpenJDK6 with the new LWJGL port and a few custom wrapper/install scripts to properly replace the LWJGL (and a couple others) with the FreeBSD compiled libs. I have been testing it extensively and it works perfectly as far as I can tell (needed a couple other ports to get the sound working as well)

Since the PBI build servers are currently down for maintenance, you can download the module from here [1] and build it using EasyPBI. Once the build servers are back up, I will try to get the PBI into the AppCafe as soon as possible.

[1] "svn co svn://svn.pcbsd.org/pbi/modules/nonport/minecraft minecraft-PBI-module"
or simply view it from: http://trac.pcbsd.org/browser/pbi/mo...port/minecraft

The new Minecraft PBI was just approved a few moments ago. It should be available in the AppCafe within 24 hours.

Hrm ... Not sure what this is all about. I can't seem to get the game to load via the PBI
