JNI apps

[Tomas Taylor]

PPC Developers,

I have a small JNI application that I have developed in MacOS X. I
have ported it over to both RedHat Linux and Windows 2000, In both
cases it fails when it tries the load the shared-library with the
native code. I have just read in the Mac documentation that the naming
convention for the shared-library is non-standard in MacOS X and this
is most likely the cause of the Linux and Windows failures.

This new information has reminded me that I have not even attempted to
port the over to Mandrake Linux for PPC. I have assumed
that Java is not yet mature enough for JNI applications? Is this a
correct assumption? If not, do I have to join the CLUB in order to
port my JNI app over to Mandrake? (I ain't got no money to join the
CLUB!)

Below is the link to the website for the Pure Java version of the
application:

I am using bamboo for website management and deployment of Java
apps.

Panther has just been released!

Update Experience

Machine ... 350MHz iMac with 256 Meg of RAM.  Otherwise standard excepte for 
external usb//parallel converter for the Laserjet printer.  Very little 
progress until I read the instructions!!

Follwed up on Stew Benedict's advice ... to NOT label the bootstrap partition 
as /boot!  Also (after reading the instructions) decided to follow them ... 
installing MacOS and leaving the rest of the drive unallocated.  Linux 
installer found and used all the newly created vacant space ... and the 
installer went ahead.

The installer still 'barfed' on testing the video display ... but I was ready 
amd knew the correct entries for my iMac.  Very good ... and am delighted to 
be 'playing' with it now.   

Only other 'wrinkle' was to entry a longer delay into 'post-init delay' ... as 
suggested elsewhere in the list.

Thanks for the help people...
