Trick Native Interface to use linux libs for dektop?

[andrea antonello]

Hi, I am trying to understand if I can develop a native interface feature for windows desktop on linux.

I.e. I have existing java code I would like to reuse and itself makes use of native libraries, for which I have both the linux and windows versions.

Since I work on a linux machine, I would like to know if it is possible to cheat and make the simulator use the linux native libraries while I develop.

This would be really an amazing possibility, without having to exit the well known environment. :-)

Thanks for any hint,

Andrea

Hi,
we discussed this already but for reference of people reading this you can just use JNI in the desktop build/simulator code.
The JNI in the native interface implementation is OK since it's Java SE. There you shouldn't have a problem using a Linux native library or a DLL.

Hi Shai,

this is quite cool and makes me wonder what it would take to have a
linux build also? The online build creates a msi installer for
windows, right? Is there a way to have a simple zip also?

Cheers,
Andrea

We can build an executable JAR target. We just didn't work on it due to limited demand.
