Turns out that the problem with cygwin dll when loaded from MSVC
app is a different one -- cygwin DLL is not just not initialized
properly and pretty much everything is liable to crash. Of course,
there may be more issues with C++, but we need to track this basic
problem down first.
Hopefully we'll track it down soon and fix. I do recommend not holding
your breath however ;-)
Good news is that mingw works like a charm.
I just released a new version of dllhelpers that should allow to build
JNI dlls using a single command (cf: dllwrap). I'll announce an example
JNI (I'm borrowing one from Andrew Mickish), complete with Makefile,
sometime in the next few days.
Now, it's as simple as:
$ gcc -c -I<jdk_root>/include [ ... ] HelloWorldImp.c
$ dllwrap -o HelloWorld.dll --add-stdcall-suffix HelloWorldImp.o
$ java [...]
