Description
HI!
I'm on windows, compiling the java interface
First I changed client/CMakeLists.txt
add_custom_command(
OUTPUT ovpncli_wrap.cxx ovpncli_wrap.h
COMMENT "Generating ovpncli Python swig files"
COMMAND ${SWIG_EXECUTABLE} -c++ -java -package net.vpn.ovpn3 -outcurrentdir -I${CORE_DIR} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/ovpncli.i
DEPENDS ovpncli.i
)
target_include_directories(ovpnclilib PRIVATE $ENV{JAVA_HOME}/include/)
target_include_directories(ovpnclilib PRIVATE $ENV{JAVA_HOME}/include/win32/)
then
> git clone https://github.com/OpenVPN/openvpn3.git core && cd core
> cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<path_to_vcpkg>\scripts\buildsystems\vcpkg.cmake -DVCPKG_OVERLAY_PORTS=deps\vcpkg-ports
> cmake --build build --config Release --target ovpncli
compile link error

Research direction
Start in client/CMakeLists.txt and inspect how ovpncli_wrap.cxx and the ovpnclilib target are generated and linked for the Java interface. Reproduce the shown CMake configure and build commands on Windows, then verify that the Release build completes without the listed unresolved OpenVPNClient symbols.
