Processing in style with Java 11

Processing Development

Hey @sampottinger, just got your latest release to run on Manjaro Arm (64 bit on RaspberryPI4 4gig RAM).

What I did to get it to work:-

  1. I downloaded the aarch4 linux zip, and unzipped in my home directory. 2020-04-26_22-59-00_linux_aarch64.zip

  2. Found out the included java is not compatible, so I deleted it and replaced it, with a link to the correct java (that I was already using for my PiCrate application).
    ln -sfn /opt/jdk-openjdk /home/tux/linux/work/java

  3. I ran program from console in /home/tux/linux/work ./processing and I was in business. The install.sh doesn’t work properly (should be easy to fix).
    For the moment I think Manjaro Arm linux is what to use but with the advent of the 8gig RaspberryPI4, the RaspberryPI OS 64 is now under active development Raspberry Pi 8 giga

More experiments to follow…

Installed toxiclibs library and ran this sketch:-

For my PiCrate application I modified PGraphicsOpenGL.java to remove Gottfreid Haiders RaspberryPI fixes (I do not recommend using the Legacy Driver, and we do not seem to need his custom shaders for the fake KMS driver). Makes for simpler code and probably a better look.
