Re: [Swarm-support] JDK path in configure on Mac OS X

[Degang Wu]

Under /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/, there is only one directory called Contents and under Contents there are only three items: Home, Info.plist and MacOS. The Home directory contains the following directories and items: 

COPYRIGHT include

LICENSE jre
README.html lib
THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME-JAVAFX.txt man
THIRDPARTYLICENSEREADME.txt release
bin src.zip
db

which to me is more like what the script is looking for.

I'm new to Swarm (or I have never been able to successfully compile and install Swarm) and I'm using Mac OS X 10.9. My installation of Oracle JDK is in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk. 

In configure step, the command I used is

./configure --with-defaultdir=/opt/local --prefix=/opt/local --with-jdkdir=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/Contents/Home

and I got the following error message:

checking for JDK... configure: error: Cannot find JDK library

I guess I gave a wrong JDK path, but I don't know what the correct path is. Can anybody help me?

I don't use OSX.  But I would guess that the directory should be:

  /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_51.jdk/

The script is looking for files in common subdirectories like bin, lib,
jre, etc.  So, if you can poke around in there and find the parent
directory for those, then that will tell you the right path to set.
