Summary0010969: shared libraries and java wrappers do not appear correct for windows using mingw batch implementation.
DescriptionAttempting to build the VTK 5.6.0 JAVA wrappers using CMAKE 2.8 and MINGW and GCC 3.4.5 on Windows XP SP3. The CMAKE Configure and Generate complete successfully, but all libraries are named similar to this VTKCommon component example: "libVTKCommonJava.DLL" and "libVTKCommon.DLL.a". My long ago past experience was expecting names starting with VTK and no suffixes after the dll name. The result libVTKCommonJava.DLL library fails during the load request in java with unable to load dependent libraries. I can get past that error by renaming libVTKCommon.DLL.a to VTKCommon.DLL. but then when I try to create a vtk object is fails to find the VTKINIT function during the new VTKRenderWindow() java statement.

For what it is worth, the downloaded java examples that have System.LoadLibrary() coded all specify names that start with VTK, not libVTK. I suspect this issue is somehow an incorrectly generated make file for use by mingw from CMAKE.

I found I was missing the mingw32-make program, I updated mingw and was able to specify mingw make files and generate the build files. all of the .dll files are prefixed with lib. this does not match the documented interface libraries for windows hosted java, nor the windows shared libraries in general. There may be a cmake configuration option I am missing. but the fact that the libraries are suffixed with .DLL appears to indicate we have recogized at some level this is a windows system we are building make for. and the lib prefix is being added in error I believe. Thanks for any insight into this.
