[Mingw-users] Compile Java to DLL for use in VC++

[Michalis P. <mp...@at...>]

Hello all,

I have spent several days trying to understand what it is I am doing wrong
and I have realised I need help!

I am trying to compile a simple java class doing nothing more than return a
string to a DLL I can use in VC++. The java class looks like this:

public class TestDLL {

	public static String getHello() {
		return( "Hello" );
	}
}

I compile using gcj (tried various combinations of options!) but when I try
to load in in VC++ I am informed that this is an invalid DLL.

What am I doing wrong? How can I indicate which functions I want to be
exported to the DLL?

Thanks and sorry if this is too trivial,
Michael
