When I'm trying to use a function from cinterop, clang++ throws a weird error:

Just if the reference weren't there, but IntelliJ does see this function. It's a function from secext.h that I'm importing using secext.def:

headers = secext_wrapper.h
headerFilter = secext.h
package = me.[...].cinterop.secext

linkerOpts.mingw = -lpsapi

and secext_wrapper.h:

#pragma once
#include <windows.h>
#define SECURITY_WIN32
#include <security.h>

Any idea why doesn't it work?

[Kris Wong]

it looks like the library you're trying to interop with was built with an incompatible toolchain

[Chilli]

secext_wrapper.h is my own header, compiled (successfully) with cinterop in Gradle and secext.h is a header from Windows SDK, included in security.h

[Kris Wong]

in that case i'm unsure, but the linker doesn't like one of the libraries

[Chilli]

What do I do then? I can't compile it myself cause it's a part of winapi, after all

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Hello, @Chilli! Can you clarify a bit, what’s the reason behind adding secext.h to the header filter? If I understood you correctly, without this line your interop was fine.

[Chilli]

If I don't do it and just add a declaration of a secext function in my header, it doesn't work either

[Chilli]

It only works if I'm not using any of the methods anywhere in my code. If I am, it doesn't compile

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Okay, so you’re getting .def like that working:

headers = secext_wrapper.h
package = me.[...].cinterop.secext

linkerOpts.mingw = -lpsapi

With some Kotlin stubs including the GetUserNameExA function, but cannot compile it correctly? Probably, one should add some other linker options, something about secur32.

[Chilli]

Yeah, it crashes on linking

[Artyom Degtyarev [JB]]

Hello again, @Chilli! I just noticed your problem can be still relevant, what’s the status? Have you tried to extend the linker options list with a -lsecur32 ?

[Chilli]

Still not solved. I didn't try -lsecur32 thing yet, I'll check it out once I can

[Chilli]

@Artyom Degtyarev [JB] Wow, that actually worked! I can't believe it was so simple!
What does that -lsecur32 option do?

[Kris Wong]

links that library
