Upgrade to lib sass 3.3
Hi,
My team is using sass on our project. Now we're moving to a continuous integration server, we can not longer use the command line version of sass (damn you corporate IT). As such we were looking to include your sass-java library in our build process. Unfortunately, we're using language features from sass 3.4. Since libsass 3.3 has been released, I was hoping you could upgrade to it.
Great idea. Upgrade to latest libsass is planned for the next release. I hope to provide all the native libs soon(ish), thus I hope next week....
I'm not sure whether I did it correctly, but I cloned your github library, updated the native directory and I tested it using mvn test.
All tests passed... Not sure whether I should have compiled the library directly though.
Unfortunately the library needs indeed to be recompiled. This is a manual process at the moment and the dll/so files need to be placed in src/main/resources after they have been successfully created.
I have not (yet?) created a script to fully automatically create new libs for all the supported platforms.
An automated script would be awesome! I've compiled libsass for OS X, replaced in the repo and run the unit tests. These tests were successful (except the test verifying the sass version updating the sass.xml file fixed this error). So I guess I can confirm that the upgrade works for OS X :)
I'll use my local library until a new update is available on maven. :)
I've got a quick question, apparently, I've made an error when compiling the library. The problem resides in the way I compiled the shared library. Now, I've got a runtime dependency on /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.18'. This caused an error when I distribute my package.
Could you perhaps specify how you compiled the original libraries?
You'll have to add -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc to your CFLAGS / CXXFLAGS.
I usually ended up patching the Makefile of libsass....

Hi,
If you interested, I've uploaded the shared binaries libsass.zip for OS X and CentOS x32 & x64 , which were compiled by latest libsass version. Put these libraries in suitable folder in resources and provide correct version(3.3.4) in sass.xml. Tested on the El Capitain and CentOS 6, works fine with current JNA bindings.
Looks like the code has been updated to use libsass 3.3.6; could this be deployed to maven central?
I am truly sorry for the late reply...
There has been quite a bit of activity around Sass and the general idea of providing Java-bindings to libsass but I don't have the time to keep up with things and provide up-to-date and well-tested native libraries. :-(
... I hope that this situation will change in 2017...
You might want to have a look at jsass (https://github.com/bit3/jsass) which seems to be well maintained....
