OpenSlide Java "Cant find dependent libraries"

[Blattner, Timothy J.]

Some of the dlls in the dependency walker output seem to be win7 oriented (minus liblzma-5.dll ... I think)

I found this post on stackoverflow related to most of the missing dlls: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17023419/win-7-64-bit-dll-problems

One solution proposed in the post is to get the Windows SDK and .NET Framework 4: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=8279

I hope this helps.


When running the build.sh script does the script execute some test cases to ensure all required libraries are found?

Regards,
Tim

Thanks for quick response. 
The search path was indeed the "bin" subdirectory sorry about the misinformation. Nothing occurred when I double-clicked the openslide.jar so I opened openslide-jni.dll in the Dependency Walker and got 9 errors stating that the system could not find the file specified.
I have attached the Dependency Walker Image file if you want to take a look.

The search path should be the "bin" subdirectory, not the top-level directory.

Everything should have been built by build.sh.  If you double-click openslide.jar in the unzipped bin directory, that will launch a demo slide viewer app.  If you can open a slide file with the demo viewer, the problem is likely your search path.

If the demo viewer doesn't work, you can try opening openslide-jni.dll in Dependency Walker to find the missing dependency.  Please let us know what you discover.
