C++ JNI UnsatisfiedLinkError

Cameron Mears :

I am trying to make a native list in c++ and use it in java, I am fairly sure everything is declared right but I am getting a link error

Java Exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Java_List.init_list(Ljava/lang/Object;)J
        at Java_List.init_list(Native Method)
        at Java_List.main(Java_List.java:13)

Java source

public class Java_List
{
    static
    {
        System.loadLibrary("JAVA_JNI_FTC");
    }

    public native long init_list(Object a);

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Java_List list = new Java_List();
        System.out.println(list.init_list(list));
    }

}

I am using visual studio for this project, the project builds multiple files not just the dll, I dont know if this the issue. Files

Michael :

Your Java class name and method name contain underscores, which goes against the naming convention.

If you insist on keeping them, you need to change the name of your C++ function to Java_Java_1List_init_1list. Note the 1s before List and list, which tells the linker to interpret the preceeding underscore as a literal underscore character instead of a naming separator.
