sun.awt.SunToolkit awt.dll: Can't find dependent libraries

Platform:
Windows

Architecture:
64 bit

When using OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_8u232b09\jdk8u232-b09-jre, an exception is thrown when trying to get the print services because there are missing dependencies for awt.dll

When calling the PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices method from within a unit test, this issue is not observed but when a service is started and tries to call this, the stack trace is created ...

This is not a problem in OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_8u202b08\jdk8u202-b08-jre

[karianna]

@DezW - Is this the case with the adoptopenjdk.net/upstream.html build as well?

[DezW]

@karianna This is not the case in the upstream build of the same version.

[karianna]

FYI - for the next investigator, this is likely due to a difference in the MSFT VS toolchain that we use.

I appear to be running into this issue with OpenJDK8U-jdk_x64_windows_hotspot_8u242b08 but not the upstream Red Hat builds?

adoptium/temurin-build#1026 and friends

@DezW or @paulfc Please provide a minimal example that reproduces the problem. Otherwise it's hard to track whether we've fixed the problem or not.

It would take me a while to extract a test case, however, I would be more than happy to test an Alpha/RC binary if that would help?

In the meantime, I'll try to put together an example

Closing due to lack of requested feedback. We're happy to reopen the issue if feedback is provided by the OP (or anybody else) at a later date.

It might help others to list what I did to solve the issue:

I had the same issue. A library (Eclipse BIRT) we are using in our webapplication running on Tomcat, is using java.awt.Color.
It did run fine on Oracle JDK, but not on AdoptOpenJDK 8.
Error was:
Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-8.0.292.10-hotspot\jre\bin\awt.dll: Can't find dependent libraries at java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native Method) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(ClassLoader.java:1934) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(ClassLoader.java:1838) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Runtime.java:871) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(System.java:1124) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.awt.Toolkit$3.run(Toolkit.java:1636) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.awt.Toolkit$3.run(Toolkit.java:1634) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.awt.Toolkit.loadLibraries(Toolkit.java:1633) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.awt.Toolkit.<clinit>(Toolkit.java:1670) ~[?:1.8.0_292] at java.awt.Color.<clinit>(Color.java:275) ~[?:1.8.0_292]

I used the tool "dependencies" a fork of "dependency walker" to see what dependencies awt.dll needs. It showed that it couldn't find jvm.dll. I added the path C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk-8.0.292.10-hotspot\jre\bin to the PATH Environment variable, and now it works.
