Benjamin Lerer commented on CASSANDRA-13333: -------------------------------------------- Another approach would be to convert {{jnaAvailable()}} into {{isAvailable()}}. This method will return {{true}} if the library has been successfully linked and {{false}} otherwise. The startup check will then check if the operating system is not Windows that the library has been successfully linked and prevent the system to start if it has not. > Cassandra does not start on Windows due to 'JNA link failure' > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-13333 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13333 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Benjamin Lerer > Assignee: Benjamin Lerer > Priority: Blocker > > Cassandra 3.0 HEAD does not start on Windows.
