commons-daemon java 1.7 mountain lion fails

[eamonn.kearns@…]

The build process looks for jni_md.h in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_07.jdk/Contents/Home/include but it is located in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_07.jdk/Contents/Home/include/darwin

I am not sure how to resolve this properly, but I hacked it by cping the files up one level.

Please attach the main.log.

In the future, please fill in the Port field.

the main.log file for building commons-daemons on Mountain Lion.

Oracle's JDK 7 installs files in very different locations than did Apple's preceding java installations. Basically this is what I figure is causing commons-daemon to not compile (or work correctly with say Tomcat when you hack the compile as noted in the ticket description).

I attached a patch (location.c.patch) and here are instructions on what needs to be done to compile is correctly. This all assumes and install of Oracle's JDK 1.7.0_09:

./configure --prefix=/opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.33 --with-java=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_09.jdk/Contents/Home --with-os-type=include/darwin
make
cp jsvc /opt/apache-tomcat-7.0.33/bin/

Hope that helps. I haven't tested fully. But Tomcat starts up now and seems to be working.

I'm having the same issue at the moment, which seemed to start after the upgrade to Mavericks, as this is the first time I've attempted to run 'upgrade outdated' since then.

[auke@…]

The attached patch commons-daemon-1.0.15.patch updates commons-daemon to 1.0.15 and fixes the location issue.

[jeabraham]

Uh, shouldn't someone put this into the main sources? Commons-daemon is still at 1.0.10 and the location issue is not fixed. I had to copy jni_md.h from darwin subdirectory up to the java_home directory to get commons_daemon to install.

[malcolm@…]

I've worked out how to patch commons-daemon, but where is location.c and how do you patch it?

[malcolm@…]

I'm one month down the line and still I've got commons-daemon broken.

Could somebody please write some SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS as to how to fix this? I patched commons-daemon ok, but where the hell is or what is location.c ??

PLEASE, this just needs someone to write minimal help, I'm risking a broken system. Thanks.
