[igraph] Igraph with JNI

[Gang Su]

Hi Developers,

I am thinking about trying to bridge igraph with JAVA via JNI on  
windows. The way how JNI works is to link Java via JNI to native C  
functions. The C source is complied to a shared library DLL file.

Does anyone have worked on this before? From the tutorial, i found the  
way to compile c source:

"Quote"
gcc igraph_test.c -I/usr/local/igraph -L/usr/local/lib -ligraph -o igraph_test

where the The directory after the -I switch is the one containing the  
igraph.h file, while the one following -L should contain the library  
file itself, usually a file called libigraph.so, libigraph.a or  
igraph.dll
"Quote"

Where actually I can find this igraph.dll in the igraph R package.
So my question is if I compile a c file using igraph librarys, and it  
can be compiled successfully, will it be able to run standalone? Or I  
have to at least let the dll point to all the igraph dlls?

Sorry for the confusion of the question, I haven't been working with C  
for a while. If i can make java calls to native igraph functions that  
will be very nice.

Thank you for your time and help!
