Run a qt program in arch

I want to run a qt program in arch. Is it necessary to install KDE or GNOME desktop before that? or I can simply run it in console as well? considering that the program is a GUI program with OpenGL.
if it is possible to run in console as well before tell me how, I have already installed xorg and start x works fine.

Many qt programs depend on some parts of KDE, so you may need to have those parts installed.
If the program you need to run is present in the repos, simply install it and pacman will fetch all the required dependencies (i.e., any relevant part of KDE) by itself.
To sum it up, you don't need to run the KDE suite, but you will have to install the relevant dependencies. The program itself should run fine with any WM or DE.
what about if I do not download qt using pacman and instead install qt offline? in that case how will it know which dependencies it needs to download?
1) Stop what you're doing.
2) Think very carefully about what it is you want to accomplish.
3) Explain in detail to the people here what it it is you are trying to accomplish, why you wish to do so, and what you've attempted so far in order to do so.
So far, you've met every answer to one of your questions with yet another, seemingly unrelated question; you're just leading the folks here in circles with no clear goal. No matter what it is you happen to be doing, or when, or where, this is simply not an effective or efficient way to get things done. Arch is a Do-It-Yourself distribution and community; folks here will only remain patient for so long.

[SOLVED] configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs

I'm trying to build lib32-libxkbcommon 0.5.0-1 from AUR with makepkg. I already tried installing pacman (setting the default makepkg.conf) and multilib-devel with no luck.

In that case you should probably check that no other packages are missing files with
pacman -Qkk 2>&1 | grep "No such file or directory"
Any packages that report that they're missing files, you should reinstall.

Trying to use a java 32bit program in Arch 64bit

After giving up some time ago, I decided once more to try to run a commercial 32bit Java application in my Arch 64bit. The same program runs fine in a vm with Ubuntu 64bit. Also, I installed bin32-jre from aur and I messed up the jre.sh and jdk.sh scripts in /etc/profile.d/ and made it work, but then my native Java 64 bit programs won't run.
To sum up, is there a way to achieve the same Java compatibility that Ubuntu offers? What libs or packages do I have to install and how should I configure them to run every java program, no matter if it is 32 or 64 bit?
Thanks.

Java applications are compiled to bytecode. This bytecode is interpreted by the JRE to run on your specific environment. I don't see how a Java application could be either "32bit" or "64bit". This is the big benefit of Java: Write your code, compile it and run it on every machine that has Java installed.
Let's try to run your "32bit Java application" on 64bit JRE. What errors do you encounter that make you think you need a different environment?
Truth is that things are not so simple. This application uses the SWT toolkit for its interface and has other dependencies besides jre (gtk is one for sure). I would be very grateful if you could download the fully functional demo version from here http://www.wordfast.com/zip/2.4.0.1/lin … nux.tar.gz and give it a try. If you can't do that, I can provide some logs. I am sure the problem is not how Java behaves but the way this app is developed and packaged. I have bought a license some years ago, but I still haven't managed to run it properly on any of my Arch machines and I just wait for the devs to take some action on this issue. I have also asked for help, but it seems that they take for granted that their Linux users use distros with mixed libs (like Ubuntu).
Anyways, thx for your reply.

}Save it as "C:\Grunt.java", compile by typing:
javac c:\Grunt.javaRun by typing:
java -classpath "C:\" GruntDoes it say "Hello Mars"? If yes, go back to your program and compare for differences (maybe you used the "package" statement?).

Error while running a Servlet program in Eclipse IDE

Hi,
I have tried running the following program in the Eclipse Editor. It doesnt compile. I have installed the Tomcat plugin too.
import javax.servlet.*;
import javax.servlet.http.*;
import java.io.*;
public class HTTPGetServlet extends HttpServlet {
     public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request,
               HttpServletResponse response)
     throws ServletException, IOException
          PrintWriter output;
          response.setContentTe("text/html");
          output=response.getWriter();
          StringBufer buf=new StringBuffer();
          buf.append("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>\n");
          buf.append("A simple servlet example\n");
          buf.append("</TITLE></HEAD><BODY>");
          buf.append("<H1>Welcome to the world</H1>\n");
          buf.append("</BODY></HTML>");
          out.println(buf.toString());
          output.close();
On a closer look i realized that the IDE is showing as error any import statements i type in. Can anyone help me get over this problem? Thanks a lot in advance.
bye

You need to add the JAR containing the servlet API in the external JARs for the project.

Running a java program a set number of times

This is a general question. Is it possible to make a java program run only 5 times for the sake of arguement.
Basically I want to write a program that will give the user some flexibility when it will actually run another Java program, but I only want them to be able to say "not now' for a set number of times. When the last time comes the other program will launch. I was initially thinking of the Do Whilw loop, but this needs to work when the program is restarted.
Program starts, it has 5 times it will run before it does something else(doesn't really matter now I think). User takes option "Not Now" and the program ends, but warns the user this will run 4 more times before you will need to do something.
This process will repeat until the user takes the option "Ok install now" or the time limit expires and the install occurs anyway. Can someone point me in the right direction.

ok I see so it's like one those programs that you download for free on the internet and they give you a set amount times to use it before you have to pay for it. but in this case when the number of times you use it equals 5 (or when the user clicks ok) a different java app will open automatically.
My first thought would be to Write a Serialized object to disk using objectOutputStream that stores the number of times the application has been opened. and each time the program runs it checks for the serialized object and then you can do something like what I posted before. of course if were worried about security the user could always look for the object and erase it, if so then I guess we would have to come up with another plan of attack
Hope this helps

Running a java program from an icon

I want to run my program from an icon on my desktop. I have a .bat file that I've built a shortcut to and it works.MY GUI program does display and run when I click on the icon. The problem is that the DOS window also shows up behind my GUI.
Is there anyway to prevent the DOS window from showing? Or is there another way to run a Java program without resorting to a DOS command line or running it through FORTE or another IDD?

Chris's solution worked well, with one small problem. Once my GUI starts, it takes up the whole screen. Normally when I run it, it appears as a small window.
not a big problem, I can reduce it easily after it starts. But does anyone know a way to make it come up in the reduced size it norally comes up in when I run it from my IDE?

Running a java program via a batch file

I am unable to run a java program from a batch file that I created.
spiderpackage.EntryPoint is a class file which I am trying to run with a -v option to output something.What should I do to get the output?
echo ^<html^>^<body^>
echo hello^<br^>
call java spiderpackage.EntryPoint -v
echo ^</body^>^</html^>

This has nothing to do with java programming. Have a look at the windows help for the call command.
The echo <html> stuff doesn't make sense. What's it for?
The command in you batch file should be:
java -cp . spiderpackage.EntryPoint -v
assuming that java is in the system path, and the EntryPoint.class is in a directory called spiderpackage which is a subdirectory of your current working directory

Running a Java program at startup in Linux

Hello
How do I run a Java program at startup in Linux? I know in Windows I can put a .bat file in C:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\ directory, but in Linux I have no idea how it is done.
Thank you,
Mihai

This is really a Linux question, not Java.
And then it depends on the version of Linux you are using.
Maybe this will help, otherwise you should try on a forum for your version of Linux.

Running a java program in a directory other than the current directory

How do I run a java program that's located in a directory other than the current directory?
There is a file Test.java in /dir1/subdir1. If my current directory is anywhere other than that directory, say /dir2/subdir2, I can compile Test.java by using:
javac -classpath /dir1/subdir1 /dir1/subdir1/Test.java
But when I try to run it with:
java -classpath /dir1/subdir1 /dir1/subdir1/Test
I get a java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: \dir1\subdir1\Test
Any thoughts?

You need to specify just the name of the class you want to run. So java -classpath /dir1/subdir1 Test

Exception while Running a Java Program for UME.

Hi Experts,
                       I am trying to run a java program to acess UME. Its a sample to create user but all of my samples are throwing this exception in NWDS (Console).Can anyone tell me why is it throwing this exception .
com.sap.security.api.UMRuntimeException: UME factory 'com.sap.security.api.IUserFactory' cannot be accessed because UME initialization has not started yet.
Please check
        UMFactory.isInitialized() before using UME functionality.
    at com.sap.security.api.UMFactory.checkInitialized(UMFactory.java:1019)
    at com.sap.security.api.UMFactory.getUserFactory(UMFactory.java:801)
    at Search.main(Search.java:25)
Exception in thread "main"
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Earlier i faced the same exception when i tried to call the UME form Standalone java application,To resolve this i used stateless session bean approach. i follow the Below Mentioned Steps,
1:-- create an J2EE -- EJB module project.
2:-- Create stateless session bean and define the require methods ,implement Local and remote interface methods in your bean class.
3:-- refer the UME apis in EJB Projects build path.
4:-- Call UME in Bean class methods.Build the EJB project and Archive.
5:--Now create an Enterprise application Project ,Include the EJB module project to your EA Project by right clicking on EA project.Build EA project and EAR file
6:--Deploy the EAR file on your server.
7:--Now from your standalone java application include these two projects in Project tab of your Application.
8:--Lookup the stateless session bean in your java class by its default JNDI name ,Obtain remote or local Home interface,And execute the BEAN Method which deals with UME.
You can also refer this tutorial in some parts of it UME apis(like IUser,UMFactory) are used in Servelets and EJB ,You can download this tutorial source from SDN for your reference.

How can I run an external program without quitting Firefox?

I want to run an external program from within Firefox, much as Outlook express is run from the email button. How do I set this up?
Firefox doesn't import my Bookmarks from the listed html file. Any cure for this?

I don't want to run the mail program, I want to run another program.
Maxthon allows me to do this using External Tools. Does Firefox allow me to run other programs without leaving Firefox?
2. Firefox allows me to load an html file which contains my bookmarks, but it doesn't load the bookmarks file. is there a solution?
