I am trying to install Octave-4.0.0 from source following the instructions from the wiki page. I have installed every single dependency (optional too) mentioned on that page. In the configuration step I used
./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/hdf5/serial \
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/$(dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_MULTIARCH)/hdf5/serial
as given there to avoid potential HDF5 library related problems. Doing this, I got (initially I was getting JAVA_HOME warning, which I then fixed):
configure: WARNING: Include file <jni.h> not found. Octave will not be able to call Java methods.
configure:
configure: NOTE: Libraries or auxiliary programs may be skipped if they are
configure: NOTE: not found OR if they are missing required features on your
configure: NOTE: system.
Thereafter, to fix this, I tried using how to add jni.h and adding libraries to ./configure path. But, if I follow that configure command with
./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/include
or even use both the CPPFLAGS
settings together (that is, in the same ./configure
line), I get this:
configure: WARNING: HDF5 library not found. Octave will not be able to save or load HDF5 data files.
configure: WARNING: Include file jni.h not found. Octave will not be able to call Java methods.
configure:
configure: NOTE: Libraries or auxiliary programs may be skipped if they are
configure: NOTE: not found OR if they are missing required features on your
configure: NOTE: system.
How should I pass these warnings and install Octave-4.0.0 gracefully (target: image processing)?
echo $JAVA_HOME
gives/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-sun/bin
(though I have had set it openjdk-7-amd64 many-a-times)! – devautor Jul 17 '15 at 14:58$JAVA_HOME
is/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-sun
, then why try to build Octave with/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64
