Creating a dll in cygwin for use with jni without -mno-cygwin

[robbincatz]

I am trying to create a dll in cygwin for use with jni.  I have successfully
achieved this for a simple "hello world" type program using the following
command:

gcc -mno-cygwin -Wl,--add-stdcall-alias -shared -o myDll.dll myNativeCode.c

However I would like to create my dll without using the -mno-cygwin option
as my c code relies on additional C libraries which when included causes the
above command to produce a large number of errors involving the libraries I
am using:

/usr/local/lib/libpbc.a(libpbc_la-pairing.o): In function
`pairing_init_inp_gene
ric':

( I have just given the start and end of the errors produced )

I have looked at every bit of information on -mno-cygwin, building dlls in
cygwin and jni but nothing has helped although I now believe the problem
lies with the fact that i did not install my libraries for mingw but for
cygwin.

If I could create my dll without the -mno-cygwin option I think it would
solve my problem, I have tried with no success to do this.  When I try this
everything appears to be fine ( i.e. I receive no error messages ) but when
I run my java code ( which calls the native c code ) it hangs, this happens
even for the most basic "hello world" ap.  

My code is as follows:

main.java:

public class main
{
        static 
        {
                System.loadLibrary( "theNativeMethod" );
        }
        
        public static void main( String args[] )
        {
                AClassWithNativeMethods c = new AClassWithNativeMethods();
                c.theNativeMethod();
        }
}
 

AClassWithNativeMethods.java:

public class AClassWithNativeMethods
{
        public native void theNativeMethod();
        
        public void aJavaMethod()
        {
                theNativeMethod();
        }
}

AClassWithNativeMethods.h:

/* DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - it is machine generated */
#include <jni.h>
/* Header for class AClassWithNativeMethods */

#ifndef _Included_AClassWithNativeMethods
#define _Included_AClassWithNativeMethods
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
/*
 * Class:     AClassWithNativeMethods
 * Method:    theNativeMethod
 * Signature: ()V
 */
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_AClassWithNativeMethods_theNativeMethod
  (JNIEnv *, jobject);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
#endif


theNativeMethod.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "AClassWithNativeMethods.h"

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_AClassWithNativeMethods_theNativeMethod( JNIEnv*
env, jobject thisObj )
{
        printf( "Hello JNI World\n" );
}


I used the following to compile and run my java code:
     javac AClassWithNativeMethods.java main.java
     javah -jni AClassWithNativeMethods
     java main

I would really appreciate any help in producing a dll which works and doesnt
use the -mno-cygwin option.  Or any other suggestions

Thanks

:)
