How to include sigar native libraries in sbt-native-packager Akka build?

Question

I'm just curious if there is some nice way to do that with Akka packaging.

I found some examples here, but it was created for rpm build and I'm using these two plugins in my build.sbt:

.enablePlugins(AkkaAppPackaging)
  .enablePlugins(UniversalPlugin)

Actually I figured out one workaround by copying sigar libraries manually to directory where application starter script is generated.

There is also a need to set -Djava.library.path=./sigar to appropriate directory where sigar libraries are located, this can be set in build.sbt or changed later manually in generated scripts, by changing the JAVA_OPTS.

The rpm solution should be valid for your case as well. Can you describe your problem? Do the libs don't show up, if you add them like in the rpm example? — Muki, Feb 15 '15 at 01:10

Here is what I did

  lazy val sigarJavaOpts = "-Djava.library.path=./sigar"

  libraryDependencies ++= Dependencies.sigar

  mappings in Universal ++= MappingsHelper directory getClass.getClassLoader.getResource("sigar").getFile

  bashScriptExtraDefines += s"""addJava "$sigarJavaOpts" """

  javaOptions in run += sigarJavaOpts

Note that I placed sigar files in my resources folder. You might also need to import from the following

import com.typesafe.sbt.SbtNativePackager.Universal
import com.typesafe.sbt.packager.MappingsHelper
import com.typesafe.sbt.packager.Keys.bashScriptExtraDefines

Also I do have a Dependencies object in which I have

  val sigar = Seq(
    "org.fusesource" % "sigar" % "1.6.4"
  )
