how to make jni.h be found?

Question

In Ubuntu 12.04, I have jdk7 from sun/oracle installed. When locate jni.h, it prints multiple locations

/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-amd64/inclu         


        

Answer 1

Use the following code:

make -I/usr/lib/jvm/jdk*/include

where jdk* is the directory name of your jdk installation (e.g. jdk1.7.0).

And there wouldn't be a system-wide solution since the directory name would be different with different builds of JDK downloaded and installed. If you desire an automated solution, please include all commands in a single script and run the said script in Terminal.
