Hi,
I am trying to build the Unix deamon jsvc in AWS EC2 Linux. I did not
install Tomcat7 that comes with the AWS Linux, I downloaded Tomcat7 from
the Apache Tomcat website, I installed it and ran Tomcat7 successfully. Now
I am trying to build the daemon to run Tomcat7 as a daemon. I get an error
running the "configure" script as indicated in the Tomcat documentation. I
did a lot of searching on the web and cannot find a solution to this issue.
I am not fluent in shell scripting, so my understanding of "configure" is
very limited.
Do I need to regenerate the "configure" script or do I need to modify the
script?
The error is:
*checking for JDK os include directory... Cannot find jni_md.h in
/usr/lib/jvm/jre/*
*configure: error: You should retry --with-os-type=SUBDIR*
*
*
It looks like *"jni_md.h"* is part of the Windows JDK, *but it's not in the
Linux OpenJDK on CentOS.*
I don't really understand why the message says "*with-os-type*" where it
seems to mean JDK?
As indicated in the INSTALL.txt below, I am reporting the issue, hoping
that someone can give me a solution or a patch for the script...
"Depending on your JDK layout, configure might fail to find the JNI
machine dependant include file (jni_md.h). If that's the case use the
--with-os-type=<subdir> parameter where subdir points to the directory
within JDK include directory containing jni_md.h file.
If your operating system is supported, configure will go thru cleanly,
otherwise it will report an error (please send us the details of your
OS/JDK, or a patch against the sources)."
Below is the console output running configure and some information about
the jdk installed.
