Hi Everyone,
In the interest of not wanting to screw around with too many DLL's, I compiled a c++ 'win32 static library' which is called 'Host.lib'
I was wondering if anyone knows how I would connect to this file? Everything is set up with the JNI and such for when I was conecting to a DLL file... But I must need to change something now cause it doesn't work ;(
Cheers,
Crispin

Connect how? Do you mean you want to know how to use it within
a Java program?
>> Everything is set up with the JNI
You have all the javah headers and such? You have all the
relevant code (native methods and loadlibrary)?

: )
That sentence couldnt be more vague if you said "something happened
so i have to do something", lol.
Hi,
I have everything set up and working fine with the JNI and on the Java end, and on the C++ end... the only difference now is that I compiled the c++ as a static library (which produces a single lib file) instead of the usual dll + lib that I got when I compiled as a standard 'dynamic' library.

Java works with shared libraries, nothing else.
However you might note that I seriously doubt that you could write a C app that would dynamically load a static library, so it isn't surprising that java doesn't do it either.
The whole point of shared libraries is that they can be loaded dynamically.
I don't know what you mean by "too many dlls'. You can create a single dll presuming that you have the source/libraries to do that.
