[Ikvm-developers] Problem creating executable from classfile

[Ben L. <be...@cs...>]

I am working on converting PDFBox to .NET and I have it mostly working.  I
can create DLLs for PDFBox and all the dependent libraries.  PDFBox comes
with a variety of command line applications as well, so I would like to
include those as executables.  But I am getting the following error when I
do so.

Note: found main method in class: org.pdfbox.ExtractText
Note: output file is: ExtractText.exe
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of
an object.
   at JVM.Compile(String path, String keyfilename, String version, Boolean
targetIsModule, String assembly, String mainClass, PEFileKinds target,
Boolean guessFileKind, Byte[][] classes, String[] references, Boolean
nojni, Hashtable resources, String[] classesToExclude, String remapfile)
   at Compiler.RealMain(String[] args)


Here is the command I am executing

ikvmc -reference:ikvm.gnu.classpath.dll -reference:IKVM.AWT.WinForms.dll
-reference:bin\ant.dll -reference:bin\junit.dll
-reference:bin\log4j-1.2.9.dll -reference:bin\xml-apis.dll
-reference:bin\PDFBox-0.7.0-dev.dll org.pdfbox.ExtractText


Any ideas?
