Building FastContentChunk (native tokenizer)

Prerequisites

• Visual Studio 2019/2022 or Build Tools (VC++ compilers)
• CMake (or use Visual Studio's packaged CMake)
• JDK 17+ (for JNI headers and testing)

Build Steps (Windows)

cd FastContentChunk\native\fastchunk
mkdir build; cd build
cmake ..
cmake --build . --config Release

Expected artifact: build\Release\fastchunk.dll or similar for your configuration.

Java Packaging

After building the native library, build the Java artifacts so demos can find the native binary:

cd <repo-root>\FastContentChunk
mvn clean package -DskipTests

Running the demo

Ensure fastchunk.dll is on java.library.path and run demo as in ../README.md.

Troubleshooting

• If cmake is missing, use Visual Studio's CMake at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\<version>\Common7\IDE\CommonExtensions\Microsoft\CMake\CMake\bin\cmake.exe
• For UnsatisfiedLinkError: verify JNI symbol names and .def exports if present.
