Hello i need help about building artefact for Java. I get an error when running this command for build:

./configure --with-vpnc-script=~/Downloads/vpnc-script --with-java=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home --disable-nls.

This is the error that i get:

checking jni.h usability... no configure: error: unable to compile JNI test program

I need your help please. I'm using release version 8.08 and building it on mac. This is the official gitlab repository

Here is the content of config.log generated

Thanks

It seems that configure script expects you to pass the path to the JDK's include directory, not the JDK itself.

This should work:

--with-java=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/include

  • Is the output in config.log the same? – Botje Apr 17 '20 at 08:16

  • So yes, it is complaining about missing jni_md.h. Can you try with just `--with-java` ? That should try to locate the JDK. – Botje Apr 17 '20 at 08:52

    It looks like that configure script expects a different directory structure somehow. Symlink or copy all the headers under `/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-14.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home/include/darwin` to the directory above (`.../include`), then try again with my answer. – Botje Apr 17 '20 at 09:42
  • Great [Here is the new output using your answer](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1einK-NinEDBzqMHVvQd0Ys7Chak3EiQr/view?usp=sharing). Is it good? – Armel Gildas Fagbedji Apr 17 '20 at 09:51

  • But look this, my goals is to build the jar that i can use in an android module to handle VPN connection. Can you instruct me to guide me achieve my goal please? – Armel Gildas Fagbedji Apr 17 '20 at 09:58

    That is a wholly different question. Start by reading the [documentation on cross-compilation](https://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/other_build_systems#autoconf) – Botje Apr 17 '20 at 10:01
  • Thanks a lot, i will follow instructions over there and comme back to you if get stuck – Armel Gildas Fagbedji Apr 17 '20 at 10:11
  • Following the readme inside de java folder of openconnect 8.08 release, i get another mistake when running make after ./configure. Here is the error: `/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make all-recursive CC libopenconnect_la-version.lo CC libopenconnect_la-ssl.lo In file included from ssl.c:41: ./openconnect-internal.h:102:10: fatal error: 'libxml/tree.h' file not found #include ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 1 error generated. make[1]: *** [libopenconnect_la-ssl.lo] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2` – Armel Gildas Fagbedji Apr 17 '20 at 10:39
  • Did you [install libxml2 as directed](https://www.infradead.org/openconnect/building.html)? – Botje Apr 17 '20 at 10:48
  • Yes i install it – Armel Gildas Fagbedji Apr 17 '20 at 10:56
