[PPL-devel] Compiling PPL Java bindings on Mingw 32 bit

[Gianluca Amato]

Hi,
I am trying to compile the Java bindings for PPL on a 32 bit Windows 
system with MinGW. I have the following problems:

1) The configure script returns an error (something like "cannot include 
jni.h"). The problem is that in the configure script, row 22978, there 
are the following lines:

ac_machdep=`echo $build_os | sed 's,[-0-9].*,,' | sed 's,cygwin,win32,'`

JNIFLAGS="-I$ac_dir -I$ac_dir/$ac_machdep"

The sed command replaces cygwin with win32 in ac_machdep. The same 
translation should be applied for mingw, otherwise the "-I" parameter 
which is passed to the compiler points to an non existent directory.

2) With Linux I use "ppl-config -l" to determine the location of the 
generated ppl_java.jar file. When I do the same in MinGW, "ppl-config 
-l" returns something like "/usr/local/lib", which is not a real 
directory in the Windows filesystem, but a virtual directory within the 
MinGW (or MSYS) installation. Do you have any idea how I can recover the 
real directory where PPL has been installed?

Thanks!
