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

Setting JAVA_INCLUDE_DIR to where jni.h is located should solve your problem (setting CPPFLAGS did not work for me)

Assuming it is /usr/lib64/java/include;

export JAVA_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/lib64/java/include
