Power Linux and other non-x86 linux platforms

[Scott Gray]

Hi,

I was attempting to use HawJNI for a small project that needs to be portable among a variety of Linux platforms, include x86 32/64 as well as Power Linux 32/64.  I had a concern about the power platform because I noticed that internally the shared libraries are referred to simply as Linux64 and Linux32 for x86 based builds.  Won't this lead to problems for non-x86 Linux platforms (power, ARM, etc.)?    I tried to test this myself, but my code wouldn't compile on power due to the following error:

[INFO] src/hawtjni-callback.c:487: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size

[INFO] src/hawtjni-callback.c:487: error: initializer element is not constant

(hundreds and hundreds of them).

This is with:

  Prefix.........: /usr/local

  C Compiler.....: gcc -g -O2 -I/opt/ibm/db2/V10.6/java/jdk64/include -I/opt/ibm/db2/V10.6/java/jdk64/include/linux

  Linker.........: /usr/bin/ld -m elf64ppc   -release 1.0.0-SNAPSHOT 

gcc (GCC) 4.4.6 20120305 (Red Hat 4.4.6-4)

If I have time, I'll try to chase down why this is happening, but I first wanted to know if I even get this built, will the dll produced also be placed in Linux64 instead of a more paltform specific location?

Thanks!
