public class jdbc3
{
     public native void FasSendUserFromFasToFac();

    static
    {
        System.loadLibrary("Macintosh HD/Users/sakkisetty/Documents/dll/FasExtend");
    }

  /*  public interface simpleDLL extends Library
        {
            simpleDLL INSTANCE = (simpleDLL) Native.loadLibrary((Platform.isWindows() ? "simpleDLL" : "simpleDLLLinuxPort"), simpleDLL.class);

    int giveVoidPtrGetInt(Pointer param);   //int giveVoidPtrGetInt(void* param);
    int giveIntGetInt(int a);               // int giveIntGetInt(int a);
    void simpleCall();

suppose i use the only system.load() it may show one type error . that is

Expecting an absolute path of the library: Macintosh HD/Users/sakkisetty/Documents/dll/FasExtend.dll

and use the full name system.loadlibrary() . it may show another type error. that is

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 
   Directory separator should not appear in library name: 
      Macintosh HD/Users/sakkisetty/Documents/dll/FasExtend.dll

so i am using mac OS. please tell me solution for this problem.

Answer 1

System.loadLibrary only accepts a filename and looks for the file in the current java paths available. You'll want to add the directory containing FasExtend.dll to your java path, then just use

    System.loadLibrary("FasExtend")

Similar to this post: Java native library System.loadLibrary fails with UnsatisfiedLinkError
