Me too (for http://www.jessies.org/~enh/software/terminator/). > I have problems using the cygwin libraries with Java > VM. I had problems too - probably the same ones. They're discussed at: http://elliotth.blogspot.com/2005/08/porting-jni-code-to-win32-with-cygw in.html The solution I found was to launch the JVM from a cygwin-compiled executable. After proving the concept using the source for Sun's java.exe (which I don't think I'd be allowed to redistribute), I rolled my own under the GPL. As mentioned in Elliott's blog, the source is buried in: http://www.jessies.org/~enh/software/salma-hayek/salma-hayek.tgz I was impressed to find that fork()ing the JVM works. All of our existing JNI source "just worked": Unix98 pts support, process groups, window size change notification ioctls, everything. The only thing we had to change was (to include windows.h) to define __int64 for the benefit of Sun's jni_md.h. I was a bit sad to see from google that no-one's writing JNI to take advantage of all the hard work the Cygwin contributors have put in. ------------------------------------- Martin's Outlook, BlueArc Engineering -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
