I guess the libraries generated with gcc (even with -mno-cygwin) don't  
work with Java.  It seems the library can be loaded, but the symbol  
names don't match.

We have not been able to get this setup running, either (I remember  
trying this a while ago), but only support the (freely available)  
Microsoft C++ compiler for Gecode/J on Window.  Please try that  
compiler, it should work without problems.

Cheers,
