LibGDX / Box2D UnsatisfiedLinkError

Question

I'm using the EXACT same code as used in this tutorial but for some reason I get an error while trying to run the project. The default project for LibGDX worked fine.

Error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: com.badlogic.gdx.physics.box2d.World.newWorld(FFZ)J
at com.badlogic.gdx.physics.box2d.World.newWorld(Native Method)
at com.badlogic.gdx.physics.box2d.World.<init>(World.java:222)
at net.ocps.tchs.permarun.PermaRun.<init>(PermaRun.java:19)
at net.ocps.tchs.permarun.Main.main(Main.java:14)

Line it is referring to(the first line in the class):

World world = new World(new Vector2(0, -100), true); 

Edit: Upon further debugging, I commented out anything involving the the world variable and the program ran (nothing showed up except a black box though because I commented out anything that errors upon commenting out the world definition line.)

Edit2: Full code that works.(There are different ways of using GdxNativesLoader.load(); but this is the way I decided to use, thanks to aquaraga)

Answer 1

You may want to try GdxNativesLoader.load(); . Do it in a static manner, ie when JVM loads the class:

static {
    GdxNativesLoader.load();
}

Apparently, the link error happens when your code or java library invokes some native code.
