Using WIN32 DLL from Unix library

[Holger Schlegel]

Hi,

because I want to do the same (calling functions in a windows native dll for
which I don't have the sources via java native interface on linux) I've made
some tests. I've started writing a jni dll for windows to use the windows
native dll and it works fine. "Converted" that library into a linux shared
library using winemaker and modified the Makefile.in to change the name of
the library from jv4face.dll.so to libjv4face.so. The jni library libx.so can
be loaded by the java vm and native functions can be called. But there are a
few problems which I hadn't solved until now:

1.) The DllMain entry point of the library is not called.
2.) If I call the windows function LoadLibrary to load the native dll I want

to use, I get the following exception trace:
>An unexpected exception has been detected in native code outside the VM.
>Unexpected Signal : 11 occurred at PC=0x4C3B6496

What is "Signal 11"? Maybe wine initialition is not correct but there are
loaded wine libraries. Any ideas why the call to LoadLibrary results in
that exception and how to solve that?
