Hello,
I am having trouble cross compiling liblouisutdml with its Java bindings
on linux and mingw-w64.
Having done some reading it appears that JNI requires a particular set
of link options and calling conventions. I found a document online
discussing compiling JNI libraries with mingw.
http://www.transmissionzero.co.uk/computing/advanced-mingw-dll-topics/
According to that I need to pass --kill-at to the linker, so I added
-Wl,--kill-at to the LDFALAGS.
However now compilation is failing with link errors like:
/home/mwhapples/liblouisutdml/tools/file2brl.c:311: undefined reference
to `_lbu_backTranslateFile@24'
I take it that this is related to Java's linkage requirements as when I
compile without java bindings (and thus without the options for JNI)
liblouisutdml compiles fine without issue.
What do I need to do to get the Java bindings to compile with mingw?
