simple test problem

[Albert L.]

hello,

i've downloaded jcurses 0.9.3 and try with a simple test. It compiles without problem, but won't run. I'm testing with the source version and place the dll in a pathed directory (tried c:\windows; and elsewhere such as jre's lib ). BTW, the precompile jcurses.jar is empty, thus I didn't set CLASSPATH to it.

The included jcurses.tests.Test also won't run. All src java compile without any error message.

my os : win98
jdk version 1.3.1_01 and 1.4.0 beta 3.

I'm suspecting I may have place wrongly the dll file.

// testwin.java ------------

import jcurses.widgets.Window;

public class testwin {

    public static void main(String[] para) {

        Window win = new Window( 10,10, 20,20, true, "Win" );
        win.show();

    }
}

jcurses.system.Toolkit looks at the location of jcurses.jar, and expects the libjcurses.dll to be in the same location.

thank you. i've build the jcurses.jar from src and place the dll at the same location and is working fine now.
