Link failure with GraalVM 21.1.0 for Java 16

[mipastgt]

I tested building my application with the client-maven-plugin on a Mac with the new GraalVM 21.1.0 for Java 16. It failed at the end with a link error.

[Do. Apr. 22 16:46:11 MESZ 2021][INFO] [SUB] ld: library not found for -lsunec

The exact same setup worked without problem with the same GraalVM version for Java 11. I used client-maven-plugin version 0.1.39, JavaFX 17-ea+7. The configuration was all created by running the agent.

Same here.

I am build on Windows with same GraalVM and Java version, and have same error:

[週一 7月 12 17:34:29 TST 2021][INFO] [SUB] LINK : fatal error LNK1181: 無法開啟輸入檔 'sunec.lib'

This solve my problem:

1.Copy link command on error log
2.Remove 'sunec.lib' in command
3.Run new command again

I experienced the same issue today on MacOS 10.15.7 graalvm-ce-java16-21.2.0 using both gluonfx-maven-plugin 1.0.4 and 1.0.5-SNAPSHOT built from 9ff71e7

Same with GraalVM CE Java 17 21.3.0, JavaFX 17.0.0.1, and GluonFX Maven Plugin 1.0.7:

• Linux:
  [INFO] [SUB] gcc: error: /opt/hostedtoolcache/GraalVM/21.3.0-java17-amd64/x64/lib/static/linux-amd64/glibc/libsunec.a: No such file or directory
• macOS:
  [INFO] [SUB] ld: library not found for -lsunec
• Windows:
  [INFO] [SUB] LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'sunec.lib'

It works with the Java 11 version.

[beatngu13]

Yes, I can confirm that. But I thought this issue is specifically about Java 16+?

[jperedadnr]

sunec library has been removed from JDK 16+. The plugin (1.0.10) already checks if you are running on JDK 11 (keeps the library) or greater (removes the library).

@jperedadnr thank you for the update, I can confirm that it works with 1.0.10 – at least on macOS and Windows. On Linux, I still get [INFO] [SUB] /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -l:libsunec.a. But this could also be an issue with my workflow, will dig a little deeper.

Side note: 1.0.1 is still the latest release on GitHub, which might be confusing to some users.

There was a small issue with sunec on Linux, it has been fixed with 1.0.11-SNAPSHOT

Yes, releases are done via Github actions, and they don't show as releases, but Maven badge shows 1.0.10
