Question

I’m on Windows 7 32bit, Java JRE6 31 installed and using Sikuli X 1.0rc3. I want to launch a test with sikuli-script.jar like this:

java -jar c:\sikuli\sikuli-script.jar test.sikuli

All I get is this error message:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError:C:\sikuli\libs\VisionProxy.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

I have set all the environment variables needed, so my PATH looks like this:

PATH=...;C:\sikuli\libs;C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin
SIKULI_HOME=C:\sikuli

I can use the IDE and launch the tests there etc. But only if I use the Sikuli-IDE.exe the sikuli-ide.bat and sikuli-ide.jar don’t work either. Always with the same error from above. So I think in the build process of the .exe file they added some magic, but I can’t figure out what it is.

Does somebody have a similar problem? Or even a solution?

Update

As I wrote below, it works out of the box with my new computer. 😀 But maybe my solution can help someone.

Sikuli Team uses Launch4J to build the Sikuli-IDE.exe out of the sikuli-ide.jar. They use this config file. I modified it slightly and created a Sikuli-script.exe. It was pretty simple but I lost the config file unfortunately.

Hope I could help!

1. You must use a 32bit JRE version (I use jre-7u4-windows-i586.exe)
2. Download Sikuli IDE for Windows (I use “Sikuli X r930”, portable version)
3. Unpack it and copy files to your project folder (I renamed it to “sikuli-ide”, check image htt+p://i.stack.imgur.com/LSiQV.png)
4. Add sikuli-script.jar to the Referenced Libraries (Project > Properties > Java Build Path > Libraries, check image https://i.stack.imgur.com/N2SJ8.png)
5. Set PATH and SIKULI_HOME environment vars (Run > Run Configurations > Environment, check image https://i.stack.imgur.com/HboXk.png)
6. You’re ready to go 😉
