Xapian discuss - Nov 2006 - java bindings under cygwin?

Hello,

I have successfully built the java bindings under cygwin.

When I run SmokeTest.java, or my own application that uses 
xapian_jni.jar, it just hangs at the first xapian API call.

The compile went fine, but I had to copy cygxapian-13.dll into 
java/build and rename cygxapian-jni.dll to xapian-jni.dll to get it to run.

DependancyWalker.exe is warning about not finding MSJAVA.DLL and EFSADU.DLL:

Warning: At least one delay-load dependency module was not found.
Warning: At least one module has an unresolved import due to a missing 
export function in a delay-load dependent module.

Not sure if this is related.


Has anyone successfully compiled and run xapian-java under cygwin?

Thanks --Joachim

Removing the "cyg" prefix sounds dodgy, though I'm no cygwin
expert.

I wonder if you might have more success if you use -mno-cygwin
(which essentially builds for mingw).  It should work to just configure
with:

./configure CXX="g++ -mno-cygwin"

If they have, I've not heard about it.
