[erlang-questions] nif problem in windows

[韦崇焜]

hi, Dave,

Thanks for you replying, I try your example and it is return the same error I wrote before, here is the output:

E:\firefox_download\hellonif-master>rebar.cmd compile

   正在创建库 priv/hello.lib 和对象 priv/hello.exp


E:\firefox_download\hellonif-master>erl -pa ebin
Eshell V5.10.1  (abort with ^G)
1> hello:init().
{error,{load_failed,"Failed to load NIF library priv/hello: 'Unspecified error'"
}}
2> hello:world().
"NIF library not loaded"
3>


Notice that, I change the code hello.erl slightly, it catch all the error when erlang:load_nif, I delete it, so it can output the error message
I using operating system win7, is it matters?

hi

I am testing nif in windows right now, the nif c code is very simple and it is copyed directly from http://www.erlang.org/doc/tutorial/nif.html#id64988

All the code is running well in Linux, and c code is compiled to .so in linux, .dll in windows

Everything is ok before I running "c(complex6)" in erlang VM, in windows,

it reports

=ERROR REPORT==== 7-May-2013::17:36:19 ===

{error,on_load_failure}

It is hard to find some useful information in google.
Can anyone tell how to fix it?




Hi ckwei,


It might be useful to paste some of the source code that isn't working for you. I don't have windows handy, but here's a NIF example that works on both Windows using command shell and SDK 7.1,  and LInux, that Volker & I did last year. The erlang side NIF loader was poached from one of Paul Davis' projects IIRC.
