Hello, I have a non-java package (pl) which links to jvm. Build scripts of pl needs to locate directories with libjava.so, libjvm.so etc. and instruct native linker (ld) where to find them (-L option). Current implementation in the pl.spec is uggly (a lot of ad-hoc hacks for each platform which requires tuning time to time <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=740897>). So I decided to find ultimate way how to obtain path for linker and Java home directory. Unfortunatelly, I did not find any. So I've written one. You can find it as attachment at the afore-mentioned bug report. Usage is inspired by pkg-config: $ javac JavaConfig.java $ java JavaConfig --home /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre $ java JavaConfig --libs-only-L -L/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/server -L/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64 -L/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/../lib/amd64 -L/usr/java/packages/lib/amd64 -L/usr/lib64 -L/lib64 -L/lib -L/usr/lib I can bundle the tool to my `pl' package, but I think it could be helpful for others too. So I'd like to ask Java SIG whether it wants to adopt it (e.g. as a part of JDK). -- Petr -- java-devel mailing list java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel
