tomcat-native: Cannot find jni_md.h in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/

[ptm@…]

Mac OS X Version 10.6.5

Looks like my out of the box JavaVM.framework folder hierarchy does not match what is expected.

Full log is attached.

Log of failed install

Could be the same problem as #26939 et al. Have you installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 but not Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 3 Developer Package?

I believe something similar is going on as I had to play with a few softlinks to get jvcs to build. I have not installed any java packages, but everything seems to be there, just not where macports seems to expect it to be :-(

For example, jni_md.h is located at: /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Headers

It is a link: jni_md.h@ -> ../../CurrentJDK/Headers/jni_md.h

I'm new to Mac, but not Unix. All I can note is that macports is looking for this file in (from the log):

:info:configure   adding "-I/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/include" to TCNATIVE_PRIV_INCLUDES
:info:configure checking os_type directory... Cannot find jni_md.h in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/

...and it is not there...

I'm not sure what the next line in the log is suggesting...

:info:configure configure: error: You should retry --with-os-type=SUBDIR

OK, so does installing the developer package help? ​https://connect.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MemberSite.woa/wa/getSoftware?bundleID=20719

I've now installed the package as requested. Many thanks for pointing me at the developer centre. However, on inspecting the JavaVM.framework folder I find everything is still where is was... albeit some files with today's date.

Any way, I pressed ahead a tried again to run - sudo port install tomcat-native - with the same result. Have Apple move things around for this version of Snow Leopard?

[ptm@…]

In order to get past this issue I adding the following softlink in /Library/Java/Home

include@ -> ../Headers

That did the trick, but why was this necessary?

Thanks for all your help

Cheers

Ran into this same problem when trying to install on Lion. I found this link that helped: ​building-universal-apache-tomcat-native-library-on-osx. Look toward the bottom of the page under the section entitled "A Note About Lion". It seems some header files have moved as indicated previously in this thread. I was able to successfully build and install by modifying one of the port definition's configure options to be --with-java-home=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/.
