Webex - ArchWiki

# Webex

Webex is an online meeting and conferencing tool used by many businesses. Webex should work out of the box on 32-bit systems with a recent version of Java installed, but extra configuration is needed on 64-bit systems.

## Setup

Webex is built for 32-bit Java, so install lib32-glibc from the official repositories and bin32-jdk from the AUR and set your default JRE to java-8-jdk-32.

    $ archlinux-java set java-8-jdk-32

Point your browser to http://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html and start the test meeting. This will create a directory in `$HOME/.webex/` containing extra libraries needed by the Webex application.

Now use ldd to find the needed 32-bit packages for these extra libraries:

    $ cd $HOME/.webex/1524/
    $ ldd *.so | grep not | sort | uniq

This will tell you what extra packages need to be installed:

    libX11.so.6 => not found
    libXext.so.6 => not found
    libXft.so.2 => not found
    libXi.so.6 => not found
    libXmu.so.6 => not found
    libXrender.so.1 => not found
    libXt.so.6 => not found
    libXtst.so.6 => not found
    libXv.so.1 => not found
    libasound.so.2 => not found
    libfontconfig.so.1 => not found
    libfreetype.so.6 => not found
    libgcc_s.so.1 => not found
    libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
    libglib-2.0.so.0 => not found
    libgmodule-2.0.so.0 => not found
    libgobject-2.0.so.0 => not found
    libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => not found
    libjawt.so => not found
    libpango-1.0.so.0 => not found
    libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 => not found
    libpangox-1.0.so.0 => not found
    libpangoxft-1.0.so.0 => not found
    libpng12.so.0 => not found
    libstdc++.so.6 => not found
    libuuid.so.1 => not found
    libz.so.1 => not found

Install lib32-libx11 lib32-gtk2 lib32-alsa-lib lib32-libxv lib32-libxt lib32-libxmu lib32-libxtst from the official repositories and lib32-pangox-compat and lib32-libpng12 from the AUR.

Webex should work after this. ldd still complains that libjawt.so cannot be found, but this does not seem to affect anything.

## Chromium

Chrome dropped support for NPAPI plugins with version 35, so Webex will not work until the Java plugin is updated to NaCl.
