This will static link against libtracecmd and their dependencies. At the end it produces a binary blob for the java bindings. The advantage here is that I have full control over the used version of libtracecmd and their dependencies. I would like to go this way and see how it goes. Meanwhile I can do more testing and cleanups. I may come back again to bring it upstream. - Alex [0] https://gitlab.com/netcoder/trace-cmd-java
