GnuPG for Java library ant build issue/bug

I'm working GnuPG Java API to encrypt/decrypt files.
Googled and found a Java Wrapper GnuPG for Java, Java wrapper for GPGME(GnuPG Made Easy,C language library).
Official website also referring this as the Java wrapper.
So followed the instructions, set up ant and tried to run ant clean release
it is throwing errors. But maven build working and jar file also generated.
Following error occured while running ant.

Update

I changed the Java home in GNUmakefile, Now it is throwing different error. Seems c library not found and this API is written for Unix system seems by reading the error message. What C library missing ?

Can anyone help me to solve this issue ? Where I'm making mistake ?

Solution

  • I rewrote my answer because I wanted to create a complete guide.

    Install GnuPG and MinGW-Get to a directory without spaces. After you installed MinGW with !!!GUI!!!, open mingw-get, install these components:
    mingw32-gcc (check all) mingw32-libz (the dll is the most important)

    Download and install MSYS, that is a command line toolkit for running commands like make.

    Then put c:\msys\1.0\bin\ (or wherever you installed it) on the beginning of the PATH variable. Restart eclipse or open a new cmd, and it should work.

    In the build.xml: line 21: 

    classpath="lib/junit-4.4.jar" added.(and the junit is in the lib dir)

    In the GNUmakefile: line 9 : 

    ALL_CFLAGS :=  -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations -fPIC

    line 10: 

    ALL_CPPFLAGS = -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DLARGEFILE_SOURCE=1 \
        -I"c:/WORK/x/gnu/jdk/jdk1.8.0_25/include" -I"c:/WORK/x/gnu/jdk/jdk1.8.0_25/include/win32"

    line 21-27:

      JAVA_HOME := c:/WORK/x/gnu/jdk/jdk1.8.0_25
  ALL_CFLAGS +=  -mms-bitfields -Wl,--add-stdcall-alias
  ALL_CPPFLAGS += -I"c:/WORK/x/gnu/jdk/jdk1.8.0_25/include/win32" -I"c:/WORK/x/gnu/jdk/jdk1.8.0_25/include" -I"c:/GNU/GnuPG/include"
  ALL_LDFLAGS :=  -s -shared -Wl,--enable-auto-import
  ALL_LIBS := -L"c:/GNU/GnuPG" -lgpgme-11
  GNUPG_LIB := $(BUILD_DIR)/gnupg-for-java.dll

    line 63:

    $(CC) $(DEBUG) $(ALL_CFLAGS) $(ALL_LDFLAGS) $^ -o "$(BUILD_DIR)/gnupg-for-java.dll" $(ALL_LIBS)

    Summary: This is working for me and outputs the jar and dll file to the build directory. My work directory was c:/WORK/x so replace the paths where it is different. Don't use "Program Files" anywhere, as you can see I had to copy everything from there.
