Answer 1

I noticed the different ways of implementing in C and C++ but I think I am writing it correctly.

You are using the C variant, but are compiling with g++, which invokes the C++ compiler (even if your source file has a .c extension).

Either change the C variants like

(*env)->FindClass(env, ...)

to the C++ variants, like

env->FindClass(...)

or switch your compiler to gcc to compile the source as C code.
