Help with CAJ installation..

["Park, Young Soo" <ypark@anl.gov>]

Hi,

I am in learning curve to use JCA to communicate with EPICS database for a project in Nuclear Engineering Division project. I hope to get some help in installation.. So I joined the Tech-talk..

I am using Windows 7 machine.
I have EPICS base version 3.14.12.2. I think EPICS was configured for 32 bit Windows. It runs well for our application.
I downloaded the binary distribution file of JCA 2.1.2 (jca2.1.1-wn32-x86.zip) from the APC jca site, and unzipped under C:\jca2.1.2\win32-x86 directory.
Made PATH variable to include the C:\jca2.1.2\win32-x86 where the jca.dll file exists, and CLASSPATH variable to include C:\jca2.1.2 where jca.jar file exist.
To test, I downloaded the SimpleJCA.zip file and unzipped.
I am using Eclipse for Java development. I made a java project in Eclipse, and imported the simpleJca.java into package. Modified the first line of the source code to match the package name.
Then added the jca.jar in the build path.
I executed an EPICS IOC which broadcasts PV variables..
I ran it as java application with a command line argument (e.g. sca:v31open.VAL).
Then I got the following error...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\jca2.1.2\win32-x86\jca.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

Anybody can advise me on how to resolve this issue?
I wonder if this is because I used the pre-compiled jca.dll?  Is it necessary to do something like rebuilding it?
Should I look for the pure java installation of CAJ, which I could not find much tutorial..

Any help will be greatly appreciated..
