# TDLib Java example To run this example, you will need installed JDK >= 1.6. For Javadoc documentation generation PHP is needed. You can find complete build instructions for your operating system at https://tdlib.github.io/td/build.html?language=Java. In general, the build process looks as follows. TDLib should be prebuilt with JNI bindings and installed to local subdirectory `td/` as follows: ``` cd <path to TDLib sources> mkdir jnibuild cd jnibuild cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DTD_ENABLE_JNI=ON -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=../example/java/td .. cmake --build . --target install ``` If you want to compile TDLib for 32-bit/64-bit Java on Windows using MSVC, you will also need to add `-A Win32`/`-A x64` option to CMake. In Windows, use vcpkg toolchain file by adding parameter -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<VCPKG_DIR>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake After this you can compile the example source code: ``` cd <path to TDLib sources>/example/java mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DTd_DIR=<full path to TDLib sources>/example/java/td/lib/cmake/Td -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=.. .. cmake --build . --target install ``` Compiled TDLib shared library and Java example after that will be placed in bin/ and Javadoc documentation in `docs/`. After this you can run the Java example: ``` cd <path to TDLib sources>/example/java/bin java '-Djava.library.path=.' org/drinkless/tdlib/example/Example ``` If you receive "Could NOT find JNI ..." error from CMake, you need to specify to CMake path to the installed JDK, for example, "-DJAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/". If you receive java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError with "Can't find dependent libraries", you may also need to copy some dependent shared OpenSSL and zlib libraries to `bin/`. Make sure that you compiled the example for the same architecture as your JVM.
