I was having trouble figuring out how to build Java/JNI programs with Cygwin. There were a number of threads in the mailing list about it, and some were helpful, but it still took a great deal of slogging.
After I got it working, I put a tutorial on the web (http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/) on how to do it. If you are an expert on these matters (and don't feel like reading the tutorial), one question came up. I was unable to link my examples into DLLs using gcc. (Or, more properly, I was able to link it into a DLL, but the Java virtual machine would invariably complain that the function it was looking for did not exist.) I ended up using LCC-Win32. There's some more information about what occurred (and my cygcheck -s output) at http://www.inonit.com/cygwin/jni/helloWorld/c.html. -- David Caldwell. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
