Hello,

This is on Windows 10, Armed Bear Common Lisp 1.4.0, Java 1.7.0_51 Oracle Corporation

I am trying to link to sqlite3.dll with CFFI (as required by the cl-dbi package)

I have jna installed in my home directory under ~/.m2/... and cffi loads cleanly as does cl-dbi. Note that the ~/.m2/.../jna-4.2.2.jar is not in my classpath. Instead I added it via (java:add-to-classpath ...)

(cffi:load-foreign-library "c:/Program Files/sqlite/sqlite3.dll") gives an error (shown below).

I also tried by adding the directory to cffi:*foreign-library-directoris*, and then calling (cffi:load-foreign-library "sqlite3.dll").

The error message is: Unable to load foreign library (SQLITE3.DLL-30929). Unable to load library 'C:/Program Files/sqlite/sqlite3.dll': Native library (win32-x86/C:/Program Files/sqlite/sqlite3.dll) not found in resource path ([file:/C:/mv-program-files/abcl-bin-1.4.0/, file:/C:/mv-program-files/abcl-bin-1.4.0/abcl.jar])

Questions:

1. What is the implication of the win32-x86 prefix to the path in the error message? Is that a 32/64 bit incompatibility? 2. I don't understand the part of the error message referring to the resource path 3. while CFFI does compile, do I have somehow to load JNA explicitly. In other words, is (ql:qload ...) enough, or do I need to do something else to activate JNA? 4. Does CFFI work on Windows (since Java is cross-platform, I would expect it to)?

(My Java knowledge is epsilon where epsilon appraches 0, although I plan to work on this if I continue using ABCL to interface to Java libraries)

Thank you,

Mirko
