Java adding natives to classpath

Question

I have a pretty big game which uses A LOT of libs and I added them in the classpath, which works fine. But when I launch the program it says

no lwjgl in java.library.path

This is easy to solve in Intellji idea but how can I add this in the classpath so that lwjgl knows where the natives are located?

Answer 1

Launch you jar using a batch file:

java -jar Game.jar -Djava.library.path="path_to_your_natives"

Before creating your Display, you have to call the following line:

System.load("name_of_dll");

Note, that you don't have to put .dll at the end. You can alternatively call

System.loadLibrary("path_to_dll");

. That way, you don't have to use a batch file. But you may not forget the extension.
