Is there anything that actually links against libjvm.dylib? There shouldn't be... The JNI interface/header hasn't changed since at least 1.5 (other than adding a #define at the top for eg JNI_VERSION_1_8. When building JNI libraries, you should be allowing undefined symbols so that you only make a .jnilib/.so with no references to libjvm.dylib. The only reason you should care about which JDK you're pointing at, for building purposes, is: 1) Newer versions make jar files that are incompatible with older ones, so if you want your jar to be loadable in a 1.6 JVM, you should build it with a 1.6 or older JVM. Alternatively, sometimes it's OK to pass "-target 1.6" to a newer javac and it will build a jar file compatible with the 1.6 JVM, but that can be problematic if the code uses class libraries that have changed in the newer JDK. 2) The code itself is using a particular flavor of java source (ie, it is using source code constructs that only work with JDK 6 or higher). If you're only building a JNI module against jni.h, you should be able to use literally any JDK that's on supported versions of OSX at this point, and it'll load. The companion java code that comes with most JNI modules, however, is still subject to the rules above, but you shouldn't have to worry about library paths at build time. Just finding an appropriate javac. - -- Benjamin Reed a.k.a. Ranger Rick a.k.a.
