Created attachment 593399 [details] A simple C++ that can be used to reproduce this error (see 'Steps to Reproduce') Description of problem: In file '/usr/lib/jvm/java/include/jni.h' the following include directive #include "jni_md.h" at line 45 is wrong since this file is in the 'linux' subdirectory Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.7.0.3-2.2.1.fc17.8.x86_64 How reproducible: Compile C/C++ a file which include the jni.h header. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Create a C++ file 'try_java.cpp' with an empty 'main' and with the '#include <jni.h>' directive 2.Compile it (e.g., with gcc): g++ -Wall -ansi -pedantic -I/usr/lib/jvm/java/include -o try_java try_java.cpp 3.You should get an error. Actual results: You get the following error: In file included from try_java.cpp:1:: /usr/lib/jvm/java/include/jni.h:45:20: fatal error: jni_md.h: No such file or directory Expected results: No error. Additional info: To fix this problem, I think it should be sufficient to replace in file '/usr/lib/jvm/java/include/jni.h' the line 45: #include "jni_md.h" with #include "linux/jni_md.h"
Hi. This is intentional. Please see #13: http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/faq/jni-j2sdk-faq.html#jni_md
Hmm, that FAQ link appears to be broken now. So: 13. My compiler can't find jni_md.h! Please add <jdk>\include\win32 or <jdk>/include/solaris to the include path of your compiler. Just <jdk>/include is not suffcient. or <jdk>/include/linux as the case may be.
