Howto implement configure/makefile checking for JNI headers?

Hi,

I would like to add a Java binding to an existing project written in
C, however I am totally unexperienced with make/configure.
Any hints, or even better snippits, how I could search for JNI headers
during configure, allow the variable to be configureable with a saned
efault value?

Thank you in advance, Clemens

Hi Clemens,
The best is to use tools that already do some kind of glue
like jna.dev.java.net.

cheers,

Hi Remi,

The JNI code is already written, and I plan to avoid adding additional
dependencies as I hope that stuff will become a part of IcedTea some
day.

The big question is how do I get it built in a way, RedHat won't
refuse creating packages from it ;)

It's hard to tell from this what you're trying to do.
