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
libjnidispatch.jnilib. It seems that this has been linked with the 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' ?
Has anybody else got JNA running on a Mac that doesn't have Java 5
installed?
Thanks,
Chris
p.s. JNA is a great library by the way: Once I 'got' how to use it,
calling the odd bits of native code I need has been a breeze. Thanks!
