[SOLVED] Java controller input on raspberry pi3b+

Java controller input on raspberry pi3b+

I'm trying to use jInput to get controller input. Works fine on Windows 10, but on Pi3B+ running Raspbian64, the program keeps looking for jinput-linux64.so. After installing the lib with apt and renaming libjinput.so to jinput-linux64.so, it keeps saying it is not found. How can I get the correct .so file?

Some other posts suggest symbolic links, but this does not seems to work either.

Here is the actual error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jinput-linux64 in java.library.path: /opt/java/libs/

Edit: It seems the error can be solved by naming the symlink libjinput-linux64.so. However, instead of button names, it spits out unknown.

Solution

Java says that it is looking for jinput-linux64.so, when you install it with apt, it gives you libjinput.so. However, the name of the file should be libjinput-linux64.so
