[Quickfix-developers] JNI library for Linux

[Joerg T. <Joe...@ma...>]

Hello,

we are developing exchange connectivity software running on linux server
machines. The next interface to incorporate is a FIX interface.

Now we are evaluating the QuickFIX engine and it seems to meet our needs 
very closely except for one point: the Linux integration.

We would like to use QuickFIX on Linux from a Java application. The Java
interface for QuickFIX is currently available only for Windows.

To get the Java interface running on Linux, we need

1. The libquickfix.a as a shared object library. The documentation says
    that for Linux only a statically linked version is available. Please,
    could anybody point out more details why this is the case? Perhaps
    this problem could be solved with a newer compiler, e.g. GCC 3.0?

2. There is no appropriate Makefile.am to build the libquickfix_jni.so
    for Linux. Could anybody tell us how to change the Makefile.am (and
    the C++ sources for the JNI interface)?

If we can resolve these points with the help from this list, we could 
get a working Java FIX application for Linux.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.
