Get MAC Address of System in Java -

-

this question has answer here:

i need mac address of system running program. not able that.

i writing following code:

public class app{         public static void main(string[] args){          inetaddress ip;         try {              ip = inetaddress.getlocalhost();             system.out.println("current ip address : " + ip.gethostaddress());              networkinterface network = networkinterface.getbyinetaddress(ip);              byte[] mac = network.gethardwareaddress();              system.out.print("current mac address : ");              stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder();             (int = 0; < mac.length; i++) {                 sb.append(string.format("%02x%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));                     }             system.out.println(sb.tostring());          } catch (unknownhostexception e) {              e.printstacktrace();          } catch (socketexception e){              e.printstacktrace();          }         }      }

and getting following results:

 current ip address : 14.96.192.202  current mac address :

i not getting mac address blank.

i saw example here

if account multiple interfaces, , null mac addresses (i'm running java 7 on windows 7 vmware installed (so have virtual network adapters)) code seems work:

public static void main(string[] args) {   try {     inetaddress ip = inetaddress.getlocalhost();     system.out.println("current ip address : " + ip.gethostaddress());      enumeration<networkinterface> networks = networkinterface.getnetworkinterfaces();     while(networks.hasmoreelements()) {       networkinterface network = networks.nextelement();       byte[] mac = network.gethardwareaddress();        if(mac != null) {         system.out.print("current mac address : ");          stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder();         (int = 0; < mac.length; i++) {           sb.append(string.format("%02x%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));         }         system.out.println(sb.tostring());       }     }   } catch (unknownhostexception e) {     e.printstacktrace();   } catch (socketexception e){     e.printstacktrace();   } }

here (a sanitized version of) see on computer when run it:

current ip address : {i'm not telling :)} current mac address :  current mac address : {actual hardware interface} current mac address : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-e0 current mac address : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-e0 current mac address : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-e0 current mac address : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-e0 current mac address : 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-e0 current mac address : 00-50-56-c0-00-01 current mac address : 00-50-56-c0-00-08

and here output of running ipconfig /all

the challenge in getting "just 1 value" mess comes relationship between inetaddress.getlocalhost().gethostaddress() , network interfaces themselves. consider slight expanded version of initial program (using cool iterableenumeration utility class):

public static void main(string[] args) throws unknownhostexception, socketexception {   system.out.println("current ip address : " + inetaddress.getlocalhost().gethostaddress());    for(networkinterface network : iterableenumeration.make(networkinterface.getnetworkinterfaces())) {     byte[] mac = network.gethardwareaddress();     if(mac != null) {       system.out.print("current mac address : ");       stringbuilder sb = new stringbuilder();       (int = 0; < mac.length; i++) {         sb.append(string.format("%02x%s", mac[i], (i < mac.length - 1) ? "-" : ""));       }       system.out.println(sb.tostring());       //bound inetaddress interface       for(inetaddress address : iterableenumeration.make(network.getinetaddresses())) {         system.out.println("\tbound to:"+address.gethostaddress());       }     }   } }

if run on computer see current ip address correlates 1 adapter mac address of hardware interface sees it's self different ip address. maybe can filter out virtual addresses or find way utilize available addresses.

c++ - wxwidget compiling on windows command prompt -

-
can please guide me on method,as how compile wxwidget using windows command prompt or msys. [i can't seem find on wxwiki/wxwidget official book/anywhere else] i have compiled wxwidget instructions have provided (using msys). from searching on internet seems 1 can (maybe?) through use of makefile (is correct?) if yes: directory & how should link wx libraries in makefile if no: way besides makefile? i know can use ide's code::block , make life simpler prefer compile using command prompt/msys. thanks in advance.
