Sorry, building on windows is not really supported, because of 
missing/unsupported
features in windows.  The reference to the jni.h is for the java native 
interfaces;
building java is optional, and you should turn that off if it is not needed.  
If you
do need it, then of course you should install Java ... 

If you still have problems, you will need to consult with a professional windows
programmer to determine how to fix these issues. Patches to the source are 
accepted;
submit these on the mailing list.  However, cannot accept bug reports ... 
theres' no
infrastructure for windows; it is a difficult/crippled platform.

The malloc-dbg.c file appears in the Visual Studio project file but is no 
longer used and there is no such file (hence the error).  Just delete that file 
name from the list in Visual Studio.  This worked for me April 2011 using 
Visual Studio 2010 on a 32 bit Vista Windows with the 4.7.4 version of Link 
Grammar.
Regards.

Hmm. Read the error message more carefully, it appears that the malloc-dbg is 
the only problem !? I've removed this by hand,  checked in fix to svn.
