Hello i have a question is there a way to change where the JNativeHook.x86_64.dll file is generated when the file is ran?

Lot of questions about this recently, please see https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook/issues/467.

To add just a little more to my previous answer, you can set the jnativehook.lib.path property: https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook/blob/2.2/src/main/java/com/github/kwhat/jnativehook/DefaultLibraryLocator.java#L81

I guess I don't quite follow what you are trying to accomplish.

• What code are you modifying? The Java code or the C code?
• The entire build process happens in GitHub Actions in a two step process that starts by compiling the C code with cmake and then the Java code with maven.
• The native files are just added to specific folders in the Jar archive.

1. I am modifying the java code specifically i am modifying https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook/blob/2.2/src/main/java/com/github/kwhat/jnativehook/DefaultLibraryLocator.java#L81
2. I do not understand how to use it ( i am talking about the github actions)
3. got it

Also the thing im trying to accomplish is to try to have it generate the dll file somewhere else

I somewhat understand how to use github actions now but when it tries to compile java it givse me this error Error: This request has been automatically failed because it uses a deprecated version of actions/upload-artifact: v2. Learn more: https://github.blog/changelog/2024-02-13-deprecation-notice-v1-and-v2-of-the-artifact-actions/ I saw that it has a new version of v4 but i do not know where to change it to that

I found out how to do it ( Im sorry for being stupid)

so i set the artifact versions to v4 but when it tries to compile it gives me this on the upload part

1. I am modifying the java code specifically i am modifying https://github.com/kwhat/jnativehook/blob/2.2/src/main/java/com/github/kwhat/jnativehook/DefaultLibraryLocator.java#L81

Also the thing im trying to accomplish is to try to have it generate the dll file somewhere else

Ok, you don't need to modify that code. jnativehook.lib.path is just a java property. Just run your program with java -Djnativehook.lib.path=C:/Some/Path/ where C:/Some/Path/ is where you want the libraries to be extracted to.
