Support for ARM about hid4java

[gary-rowe]

Yes. hid4java uses JNA under the covers and it defines the naming convention to use. You'll note from that file that linux-arm would be appropriate.

I've just pushed a more recent version of libhidapi on the develop branch based on an RPi compile. Can you clone and build locally (mvn clean install) and then use hid4java-develop-SNAPSHOT.jar in your project. Ideally it'll work out of the box.

If it doesn't then I'll see about running up a VirtualBox or similar to emulate a suitable ARM environment to expand the library but that may take some time due to other projects requiring attention.

Hi!

Thank you for quick reply, you've saved my life) I've tested DEV version and it worked. Well at first it was complaining that there is no libudev.so.0 file (libudev.so.0 was replaced with libudev.so.1 from ubuntu 14.04 and forward). Nevertheless after applying this command sudo ln -sf /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libudev.so.1 /lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libudev.so.0 everything started to work like a charm on ARM.

No worries - glad I could help. This fix will go out in the 0.5.0 release which will probably be in late September judging by the downstream project driving development - MultiBit HD.

I'll update the dev notes to reflect the symlink - good catch.
