Video and PDF libraries not working. about jrubyart

[monkstone]

This is indeed strange, because the program is complaining of missing sketch file in the filesystem root / directory (ie not SKETCH root directory), this is most likely a windows path thing and might be fixed by giving an absolute path to the sketch (this should not be required though). Presumably regular sketches such as JWishy run OK so it must be some interaction between the library loader (which futz's with the sketches CLASSPATH so the user doesn't have to) and the regular path to sketch.

Without the futz the user would need to add the classpath (of the library) to the command line, and being java, absolute paths are required so it is a right pain. Back in the day we used to give this advice with ruby-processing https://github.com/jashkenas/ruby-processing/wiki/For-Windows-Users, though I am not sure having settable K9_HOME (cf RP5_HOME) would fix your problem.

PS: I am extremely limited in the advice I can give, not having touched a Windows system for years (last experience was with XP, and even then it was limited to pure java). I have noticed that JRuby sometimes has issues with classpaths on windows , and it is entirely possible there is a glitch with JRuby-9.0.5.0, no-one seems to complain about ruby-processing on windows (but that doesn't prove anything).
PS: forgot was already giving advice re windows on JRubyArt

@juliojt it is just possible that recent changes to JRubyArt (and changes to pdf examples) might improves matters.

@juliojt it is not just as simple as needing to quote paths in config file (to cope with illegal spc etc of windows paths)?

No progress or fixed? Someone will re-open if there's a real issue/

Sorry, Martin. I forgot about this email. I haven't verified if quoting
paths helps. I just have too much in my hands these days. Anyways, thanks
for taking your time, and I will try this as soon as I'm able.
