Re: [jna-users] Windows x64 jna DLL


I poked at this a bit (merging python libffi fork into standalone libffi) and got some of the configury done and got something to build, but got stuck not having a working dejagnu/expect harness to run the tests.

Apple has some python-based tests derived from the dejagnu ones, which might be easier to get running.

It's a bit tricky to put back into standalone libffi b/c that expects gcc; you'd need to beef up some of the wrapper scripts to get the MS compiler and assembler to work properly within the framework.

It also looks like x86 stdcall is not yet implemented.

HI!

Someone already tried compiling the jna lib on Windows x64?

There are x64 versions for Linux, Sun and MacOS on the web site, but not
for Windows...

The last time I checked, the patches for Windows 64-bit ctypes (which is what JNA uses to talk to the native library) only existed in the Python ctypes code base, and not in standalone ctypes, GCC ctypes or JNA's ctypes.

Someone who knows what they're doing probably needs to merge the stuff
in Python ctypes with standalone ctypes.

Cheers,

Albert
