Where to get libsystemhook-linux-amd64.so?

TheNotary commented 6 years ago

Hello, I'm consuming this project on a linux machine just to test things out, and I get this message:

$ ./target/InputAnalysis 
Hello World!
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: lib: libsystemhook-linux-amd64.so not found in lib directory
    at lc.kra.system.LibraryLoader.loadLibrary(LibraryLoader.java:86)
    at lc.kra.system.keyboard.GlobalKeyboardHook.<init>(GlobalKeyboardHook.java:98)
    at my_app_group.App.listenToInputs(App.java:44)
    at my_app_group.App.main(App.java:37)

There's a comment indicating this might happen, but I'm a little confused as to how to overcome it. Should I do an apt-get install to get it on my machine? Googling brings me here to a github page by someone else where the library seems to be available. Are those files safe and is that repo the only way to produce the files?

As an update, I running my exact code more or less works fine on windows machines, it's just not working on my Linux Mint machine.

Linux support has not been added to this library. Nice that you found a library already implementing the native dependencies on Linux. I will take a look at them and come back to this. Unfortuantely I cannot give you any ETA when Linux support is officially added to this Library, as I am kind of busy doing other things right now.

Hello, I would also like to use this library for Linux. Is ETA still unknown?

kristian commented 6 years ago

Hello Patryk, yes... unfortunately. If nobody will provide me with a pull-request to accept, I do currently find no time to do the Linux port of the native libraries myself. Sorry for that.

@TheNotary https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook probably works on Linux and covers same features.

Linux support likely will never be provided, see #49. Happy to accept any PRs! Closing with "wont-fix" for now, sorry.
