[Quickfix-developers] quickfix_jni.dll compilation problem

[Alexander G. <ago...@ac...>]

Hi All,

I am a newbee in Fix. I want to use quickFix as a FIX engine for a new =
project and I have a problem running the junit tests.=20

I downloaded the sources and I tried to compile the quickfix_jni.dll for =
Windows/Java using postgreSQL as the db platform. I did the following:

1. edited the config_windows.h (uncommented #define HAVE_JAVA 1
and  #define HAVE_POSTGRESQL 1)

2. Downloaded the windows installer of postgreSQL (v. 8.1.2.) and =
installed the db.

3. Downloaded and installed the "Microsoft Platform SDK" in order to =
have the shfolder.lib.

4. Downloaded the source code of the same version of postgreSQL and with =
the aid of the shfolder.lib compiled the libpqdll.lib.

5. Installed the Microsoft visual C++ 6.0. and opened the =
quickfix_vs6.dsw. In the tools -> options added the following =
directories:

    - into the "include files":=20
            %java_home%\include
            %java_home%\include\win32
            %postgres_install_dir%\include

    - into the "library files"
            %postgres_src_dir%\src\interfaces\libpq\Release\ (containing =
libpgdll.lib).

6. Ran the batch build of the workspace.

7. Opened the eclipse platform and ran the ant build of the build.xml =
from the src/java folder.

8. Ran the junit tests from the quickfix.test packages. The first three =
tests: MessageTest, FieldTest, and DataDictionaryTest executed =
successfully while the last two (DictionaryTest and SessionSettingsTest =
failed with the following error:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: create
 at quickfix.Dictionary.create(Native Method)
 at quickfix.Dictionary.<init>(Dictionary.java:30)
 at quickfix.test.DictionaryTest.setUp(DictionaryTest.java:20)

 at junit.framework.TestSuite.runTest(TestSuite.java:173)
 at junit.framework.TestSuite.run(TestSuite.java:168)
 at =
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.runTests(RemoteTes=
tRunner.java:478)
 at =
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.run(RemoteTestRunn=
er.java:344)
 at =
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.RemoteTestRunner.main(RemoteTestRun=
ner.java:196)


I investigated a bit and found out that all the failed tests fail while =
running a native method create (from the constructor of the class =
quickfix.Dictionary) which apparently calls the constructor of the =
Dictionary.cpp class.=20

Could someone suggest something to resolve this problem and/or tell how =
important is that these tests fail.

Thank you very much in advance.
