Gradle cpp plugin doesn't link shared library

Question

I have a C++ library to listen to radio with RF24. I wrap this library using JNI with a Java class.

The issue that I have is that gradle don\'t link the shared library

Answer 1

Use the following instead:

cpp.lib library: 'rf24', linkage: 'shared'

This induces a transitive dependency from libtransmission to librf24.

It is not enough to put the files side by side to be found, however. You should either set LD_LIBRARY_PATH at runtime or compile libtransmission with a relative RPATH .
