Don't forget that you can use wildcards in the for loop. For eg.
for i in $CLASSPATH \
/usr/local/* \
/*/*
do
if test -r jni.h
then
fi
done
It can still add up to a lot of directories, at least there is a bound on the
number of levels down it will go. As for which directories....start with the
ones that _you_ need. It's pretty easy to add directories once the logic to
search is in there. Personally, I don't care. As long as it gives up within a
reasonable amount of time, and compiles without java, because it ain't going to
find it on any of my systems in the forseeable future.
