Build fails with non-Sun JREs due to different pathing to the operating system architecture shared libraries ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6924 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6924 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 0.20.2, 0.20.1, 0.20.0 Environment: SLES 10, IBM Java 6 Reporter: Stephen Watt Fix For: 0.20.3 The src/native/configure script used to build the native libraries has an environment variable called JNI_LDFLAGS which is set as follows: JNI_LDFLAGS="-L$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/$OS_ARCH/server" This pathing convention to the shared libraries for the operating system architecture is unique to Oracle/Sun Java and thus on other flavors of Java the path will not exist and will result in a build failure with the following exception: [exec] gcc -shared ../src/org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/zlib/.libs/ZlibCompressor.o ../src/org/apache/hadoop/io/compress/zlib/.libs/ZlibDecompressor.o -L/home/hadoop/Java-Versions/ibm-java-i386-60/jre/lib/x86/server -ljvm -ldl -m32 -m32 -Wl,-soname -Wl,libhadoop.so.1 -o .libs/libhadoop.so.1.0.0 [exec] /usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.1.2/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -ljvm [exec] collect2: ld returned 1 exit status -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
