JNI problem - linkage problems trying to generate DLL for Win32 functions...

[Mary]

Hello,

The problem I am having is when I try to generate a dll from the
RegConnect.c code. The RegConnect.c class contains the JNI calls as
well as the calls to the Win32 registry functions, such as
RegCloseKey, RegDeleteKey etc. I just want to build the dll for this
class, so I can call the functions from my Java class. The problem is
when I try to use the command line to generate the dll, I get the
errors, listed below.
I initially thought this was because windows.h was included in the
RegConnect.c file and it wasn't on my machine. So I downloaded the
Windows SDK. This still didn't solve the problem. I then thought it
was because I wasn't including advapi32.lib but I have listed that as
one of the includes (maybe this is not how i should be doing it??) but
it still doesn't work.
I am using java.1.4.1 on Windows XP.
The environment variables I am using are:
WINDOWS_INCLUDE: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\include"
JAVA_INCLUDE: C:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\include
advapi32.lib is in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDK\lib directory.

I have been searching all the newsgroups but cannot find an exact
replicate of the problem as most others who have this problem are
using MSVC++ and can just update their project settings!

Thanks in advance for any help on this!

Mary

Hello, Hello Mary!

May be you must give one further option to tell CL.EXE where to search
for the libraries. But I'm too little Windows-experienced to know
exactly how :-(

Looking at this list of your unresolved externals and at the docu of
these functions, I very much assume that the import libraries Advapi.lib
(containing all the Reg* functions) and User32.lib (containing
wsprintfA) were not found by your linker.
