jcc build on systems without jni.h?

[Bill Janssen <bi...@janssen.org>]

I was building on an as-yet unreleased version of a popular operating
system the other day, and found that jcc failed to build, because jni.h
is no longer installed where one might expect it to be.  Don't know if
this condition will persist when this version of the OS is actually
released, but right now it's a bit of a show-stopper.

Oh yeah, that's very common on Linux. Just a few days ago, user "KK" was 
missing the Python.h header file for the same reason.

I was worried that you had found an OS with a Java that didn't support JNI 
at all. Phew.

Well, yes and no.  The headers (jni.h) might properly be considered part
of the developer kit, rather than the runtime kit.  Lots of Linux
distributions separate runtime and developer components.  Just a heads-up
that the default location of headers for this Malus build may change in the
near future.  Though I think it's worth waiting to see what the release
has in it.

Indeed. There is no JCC without JNI.
Java without JNI... the jail would be airtight.
