I've been trying to get JNA running on a Mac running 10.3. As soon
as I call anything I get an exception trying the load the JNA

AWT dynamic library, but seems to be trying to load it from:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/
Libraries/libjawt.dylib
This works fine when Java 5 is installed, but on 10.3 it won't be.
I fiddled about with the makefile to try and get it to link to:
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries/libjawt.dylib
Which I figured would be valid on any machine, but this is a
symlink that resolves to Java 5 (on my dev machine) so I wind up
with a library with the same problem. I confess to knowing next to
nothing about linking dynamic libraries on OS X so am a bit
stumped. Surely there must be a way of linking to 'the current
version' ?
What you might try is to make JavaVM.framework/Libraries/
libjawt.dylib a real file so that "otool -L" indicates that path as
the required one. Do your library build, then re-work your symlinks
to test whether the build (whether against the 1.4 or 1.5 dylib)
works against a different release.
Alternatively you might simply drop the jawt dependency for the OSX
build, since it's not currently used (omit the "-ljawt" link argument).
Have you actually tried running the Java 1.5 build on OSX 10.3? What
happens?
