LWJGL natives os + JPMS + GRADLE

Question

ERROR: UnsatisfiedLinkError

[LWJGL] Failed to load a library. Possible solutions:
    a) Add the directory that contains the shared library to -Djava.library.path or -Dorg.lwjgl.librarypath.
    b) Add the JAR that contains the shared library to the classpath.
[LWJGL] Enable debug mode with -Dorg.lwjgl.util.Debug=true for better diagnostics.
[LWJGL] Enable the SharedLibraryLoader debug mode with -Dorg.lwjgl.util.DebugLoader=true for better diagnostics.

I tried to had/implement the java platform module system to one of my projects and this linking error had me. The following lines are build script and the module-info src code.

lib module: buld.gradle .kts

        unzipTo(File("${buildDir}/libs/natives"), it)

lib & app module: module-info .java

    requires org.lwjgl.opengl;
    requires org.lwjgl.assimp;
    exports com.moc;

    requires moc.lib;
}

> How do we link this natives os to our project by using a gradle build script and without any external plugins?

Answer 1

I tried this one and it's working but somehow I feel this is not the right way?

tasks.withType<JavaExec> {
    val lwjgl = System.setProperty("org.lwjgl.librarypath", "../libs/natives"
    systemProperty("org.lwjgl.librarypath", System.getProperty("org.lwjgl.librarypath") )
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}

Answer 2

And try this one for the application extension

val lwjgNativesProp : String? = System.setProperty("org.lwjgl.librarypathz", "../libs/natives")

application {
    applicationDefaultJvmArgs = arrayListOf("-Dorg.lwjgl.librarypath=${System.getProperty("org.lwjgl.librarypathz")}")
}

tasks.withType<JavaExec> {
    lwjglNativesProp?.let { systemProperty("org.lwjgl.librarypath", it) }
}
