Running gradle - Failed to load native-platform.dll error

Hi @mattharr, did you ever find a solution to this?

I’m hitting the same issue, except my configuration is a bit more complex:

  • Running Windows 7, 64bit OS
  • Using a 32 bit JDK 1.8.0_92
  • Running from a cygwin shell

Accordingly I get:
Failed to load native library 'native-platform.dll' for Windows 7 x86.

However when I use a 64-bit JDK I don’t see this - so I probably need to post a new topic, but I thought I’d try my luck here first just in case.

Incidentally I discovered a few posts on SO which didn’t help me, but there might be some clues for you in there:
