Installing LuaJava

I have a Mac version 10.9 and I'm trying to build LuaJava. I built Lua 5.0 no problems, but when using this tutorial I get this error:

In file included from src/c/luajava.c:39:
src/c/luajava.h:2:10: fatal error: 'jni.h' file not found
#include <jni.h>

from Terminal when I run make. I tracked down the jni header, but now I don't know what to do with it/ where to put it so it finds it.

Solution

  • To make the include problem go away, replace

    INCS= -I$(JDK)/include -I$(JDK)/include/linux -I$(LUA_INCLUDES)

    with

    INCS= -I/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Headers -I$(LUA_INCLUDES)

    in the file called config
