Support for 64bit

[jschneider]

While I really love the plugin, I run into problems when trying to use this plugin on 64bit Ubuntu:

net.sf.launch4j.BuilderException: net.sf.launch4j.ExecException: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/com.cedarsoft.deger/workspace/.repository/com/akathist/maven/plugins/launch4j/launch4j-maven-plugin/1.5.1/launch4j-maven-plugin-1.5.1-workdir-linux/bin/windres": error=2, No such file or directory

This is strange, I have been using this plugin on Mac OSX and Ubuntu as well without problems. Can you share your configuration or example project?

[jschneider]

I fixed it by installing lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 (has been ia32-libs in older Ubuntu versions).
But without those libs, it does not work.

[akuhtz]

Same issue on my 64-bit Ubuntu and installing the libs as described above fixed the issue. Thank you for sharing this info.

@jschneider Thank you!

[bbarker]

Based on the above advice, I installed zlib.i686, ncurses-libs.i686, and bzip2-libs.i686 on CentOS 7, and the problem was fixed.

thanks

[jschneider]

May I suggest to improve the error message? Maybe give a hint that these libs are missing?
Might save some guys some time.

Maybe even create a wiki page and add the link to that page to the error page?

[lukaszlenart]

@jschneider the issue is inside Launch4j, not in the plugin - I have registered an issue [1], maybe your request will be addressed :)

Is there a workaround available? I'm constantly hitting this bug :(

I know you are not the not the author of launch4j but of the maven plugin but maybe you know a solution.

[lukaszlenart]

@ooxi just install the above mentioned libs - that's the solution

[ooxi]

Thanks!

Please give an update of the package list to install. The library name pattern with "32" in it is an old pattern that is not supported anymore. But even after renaming and adding support for i386, I'm still getting the issue:

    sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
    sudo apt-get -y update
    sudo apt-get -y install libz1:i386 libncurses5:i386 libbz2-1.0:i386

Cannot run program "/root/.m2/repository/net/sf/launch4j/launch4j/3.14/launch4j-3.14-workdir-linux64/bin/windres": error=2, No such file or directory -> [Help 1]

Before that it says:

[INFO] [INFO] launch4j: Compiling resources
[INFO] [INFO] launch4j: Generated resource file...

Normal execution path is:

[INFO] [INFO] launch4j: Compiling resources
[INFO] [INFO] launch4j: Linking
[INFO] [INFO] launch4j: Wrapping

How to make it work on Debian 11?

apt-get -y install libz1:i386 libncurses5:i386 libbz2-1.0:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done

Note, selecting 'zlib1g:i386' instead of 'libz1:i386'
You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:

Did you try to install MinGW-w64?
