Hi Andi,

But assuming you're on a Mac, you do not need to export I'm actually on Windows but I tried to compile everything on Linux - an older Ubuntu with Java 17 installed. Here is what I see: > echo $JAVA_HOME /[...]/jvms/jdk17 > java -version openjdk version "17" 2021-09-14 OpenJDK Runtime Environment Temurin-17+35 (build 17+35) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Temurin-17+35 (build 17+35, mixed mode, sharing) > cd jcc > python3 setup.py build install Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 100, in <module> ''' %(JDK[platform])) RuntimeError: Java JDK directory '/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle' does not exist. Please set the environment variable JCC_JDK to the correct location before running setup.py. When I set JCC_JDK: > export JCC_JDK=$JAVA_HOME > python3 setup.py build install [lots of messages] x86_64-linux-gnu-g++ -pthread -shared -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro -g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wdate-time -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.6/jcc3/sources/jcc.o build/temp.linux-x86_64-3.6/jcc3/sources/JCCEnv.o -o build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.6/libjcc3.so -L/[...]/jvms/jdk17/jre/lib/amd64 -ljava -L/ [...]/jvms/jdk17/jre/lib/amd64/server -ljvm -Wl,-rpath=/ [...]/jvms/jdk17/jre/lib/amd64:/ [...]/jvms/jdk17/jre/lib/amd64/server -Wl,-S -lpython3.6m /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljava /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ljvm collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'x86_64-linux-gnu-g++' failed with exit status 1 When you look at the compilation line, Java-relative paths are wrong as it's a JDK installation and it has lib/ and include/ directly underneath (not under 'jre/lib/amd64', for example). So it seems to be some sort of expected-packaging problem? Dawid
