----------------------------------
Summary: Could not find or load main class
configtest_ax_javac_and_java on some non-english systems
Key: THRIFT-3271
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-3271
Project: Thrift
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build Process
Environment: - German openSuse 13.2
- path with Umlauts (Arbeitsfläche) within
Reporter: Jens Geyer
Assignee: Jens Geyer
Fix For: 0.9.3
The JVM fails to locate the *.class file within an path that contains (e.g.)
Umlauts, such as in {{~/Arbeitsfläche/Thrift because}} of LC_ALL=C being set by
configure. The symptom is, that
{code}
java configtest_ax_javac_and_java
{code}
works fine when invoked by hand, but configure fails at exactly that step, even
with an explictly set classpath -cp . with the message:
{code:title=config.log}
Running "/usr/bin/javac configtest_ax_javac_and_java.java"
Running "/usr/bin/java configtest_ax_javac_and_java"
Error: Could not find or load main class configtest_ax_javac_and_java
{code}
Temporarily adding {{LC_ALL=}} right before the Java check solves the issue.
The other workaround is to use a path using only {{LC_ALL=C}}-compatible
characters.
It seems to be related to the issue mentioned at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/autoconf/2011-10/msg00000.html and I
eventually came up with the reason because after checking the usual suspects
like CLASSPATH and the like I finally wondered whether it might have something
to do with the fact that Java emits english error messages during configure,
but german messages otherwise.
