vba-linux

This is VBA for Linux except with rerecording capabilities and jvm bindings (jni).

building

Install the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install g++ libtool openjdk-6-jre openjdk-6-jdk libsdl1.2-dev ant autoconf

Configure some environment variables:

export JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/include/
export JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH2=$JAVA_INCLUDE_PATH

Next do these things:

./dl-libs.sh
cd java/
ant all
cd ../

autoreconf -i
./configure
make

Build products are dumped into: ./src/clojure/.libs/

Using python

See python-vba-wrapper for using this with python. Read below for using vba-linux with jython.

Using the java bindings

Make sure vba-linux is available within "java.library.path":

sudo ln -s ./src/clojure/.libs/libvba.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/jni/libvba.so

Make sure vba-linux bindings are in $CLASSPATH:

export CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:`pwd`/java/dist/gb-bindings.jar

To use the bindings from inside the jvm (like with java, clojure or jython):

import com.aurellem.gb.Gb as Gb
Gb.loadVBA()

Which version of VBA is this?

Who knows.

This is a fork of vba-clojure at b531d490859c, which is a fork of vba-rerecording v23.5 which is a fork of some other VBA.
