Hi,
I am trying to compile the Java bindings for PPL on a 32 bit Windows system with MinGW. I have the following problems:

1) The configure script returns an error (something like "cannot include jni.h"). The problem is that in the configure script, row 22978, there are the following lines:

ac_machdep=`echo $build_os | sed 's,[-0-9].*,,' | sed 's,cygwin,win32,'`

JNIFLAGS="-I$ac_dir -I$ac_dir/$ac_machdep"

The sed command replaces cygwin with win32 in ac_machdep. I think the same translation should be applied for mingw, otherwise the "-I" parameter which is passed to the compiler points to an non existent directory.

2) With Linux I use "ppl-config -l" to determine the location of the generated ppl_java.jar file. When I do the same in MinGW, "ppl-config -l" returns something like "/usr/local/lib", which is not a real directory in the Windows filesystem, but a virtual directory within the MinGW (or MSYS) installation. Do you have any idea how I can recover the real directory where PPL has been installed?

Thanks!
