Error installing pyjnius, "jni.h" was not found. (OS X 10.10.1)
I am trying to install pyjnius on OS X 10.10.1. Other worries I care about, I was unable to resolve the issue with the header "jni.h" not found. Here's what's going on:
$ sudo python setup.py install
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'install_requires'
warnings.warn(msg)

jnius/jnius.c:238:10: fatal error: 'jni.h' file not found
#include "jni.h"
^
1 error generated.
error: command 'cc' failed with exit status 1
[If it matters, I tried using pip, but it fails with the same error.]
Installed Java versions: 1.6.0.65 and 1.8.0.25. I can switch between them if necessary.
If it helps, I was able to find jni.h
using locate
. It is located here:
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Headers/jni.h
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.9.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Headers/jni.h
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/include/jni.h
Any help would be appreciated!

Ok, so it turned out that I was close to the answer. I went to /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.Framework/Versions/A
and created a directory named Headers
. Then I am symbolically attached to jni.h
.
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Headers/jni.h jni.h
By running the setup script, run the error again, this time in one jni_md.h
. Symbolizing again,
ln -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/MacOSX.platform/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.10.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/A/Headers/jni_md.h jni_md.h
- it worked! I ran the setup again and can now import jnius
.
If anyone has an easier workaround please post it.
