[Zoo-discuss] ZOO 1.4 Java installation

[Alexander Kmoch]

Hi all,

I have downloaded the ZOO 1.4 release, and tried to compile and install 
on a Ubuntu 14.04 and a recent Arch Linux.

Standard configure is fine, but the --with-java is not working for me on 
both distros.

In the configure.ac there will be an error message pointing to a 
JDK_HOME (aka JAVA_HOME) but in the actual configure only JDKHOME will 
be honored. This is a type a presume. Ok, knowing that, the configure 
looks/mentions for libjava (although LDFLAGS is -ljvm) in <java 
home>/jre/lib/amd64/client

This is a bit weird, because in neither the openjdk7 nor oracle-jdk7 
have that folder. libjvm.so resides in  <java 
home>jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so and libjava in <java 
home>/jre/lib/amd64/libjava.so (amd64 for my architecture of course)

The directory layout is the same for openjdk7 and oracle-jdk7, there is 
no client folder. I tried to meddle around with the CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS 
but haven't been successful yet. The includes work wenn JDKHOME (not 
JDK_HOME) env var is set properly to a JAVA_HOME (not a JRE_HOME) and 
./configure --with-java=$JDKHOME

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Alex
