configure script unable to cope with spaces in JDK-path on Windows about jblas HOT 7 CLOSED

a quick fix is to copy your JDK to a space free directory and overwrite your PATH enviornment variable:

eg.

$ export PATH=/cygdrive/d/tmp/jblas/jdk1.6.0_16/bin:$PATH

from jblas.

Added parentheses aroung the cygpath call. Have to check, though

Hi Mikio,

I got trouble on my brand new Windows 7 64 bit box and most recent jBlas. On calling the configure script, i get

Schabby@Schabby-PC ~/jblas
$ ./configure
checking for java, javac... ok
determining operating system... ok (Windows)
determining architecture... ok (x86)
looking for nm... ok
checking for cygpath... true
locating the Java Development Kit... failed

Configuration failed!

Reason: couldn't find /cygdrive/c/Program Files (x86)/Java/include/jni.h

This may still be a whitespace-in-paths iusse?

Cheerio, Johannes

my JAVA_HOME variable is set to

$ echo $JAVA_HOME
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_17

so it is strange that the script tries to find the JDK somewhere in "Program Files (x86)"

from jblas.

Oh yes, I need to fix that... . The script is asking the java executable itself what it's directory is. I probably should add a test which looks whether JAVA_HOME is set... .

Hey schabby,

please pull and try the newest version. At least under Windows, it can now deal with spaces in paths. Somehow, the way ruby parses spaces is a bit broken. So if you have a space in an option, it is better to enclose everything in quotes. Note that your shell may not expand $HOME, or ~/ in quotes, so but in the full path.

BTW, does that mean, you were able to compile ATLAS successfully?

I guess this is also closed now. Probably reopen later.
