URL: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40111> Summary: Support runtime selection of Java version on Linux and Unix systems Project: GNU Octave Submitted by: mtmiller Submitted on: Thu 26 Sep 2013 09:07:40 AM EDT Category: Configuration and Build System Severity: 2 - Minor Priority: 5 - Normal Item Group: Feature Request Status: None Assigned to: None Originator Name: Originator Email: Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Release: dev Operating System: GNU/Linux _______________________________________________________ Details: We currently hardcode the path to the Java runtime (specifically the libjvm.so library) in the Octave interpreter at compile-time. The library is not actually used at compile-time, since it is dlopen'd only when Octave needs it. It would be better if there was an ability for the user to override this path in the Octave interpreter at runtime. The easiest and most obvious solution would be to keep the hardcoded path as it is now and allow the user's JAVA_HOME environment variable to override it. More ambitious would be to do some kind of automatic determination of the Java path at runtime, but that's already hard enough as it is in the configure script. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40111> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/
