connect maven an autotools transparently

[judovana]

The autotools are just better for native build
and maven is better for java build

My idea is to make both unverses to coopearte and reduce duplicated code.

• The maven usecases is simple

  • the exec plugin will call configure and make exact target to compile the binary (and cross compiled binaries in future) instead of direct gcc call
  • the maven will build java, and use autotooled natives

• auto tools use case

  • autotools build bianry
  • from autotools maven is called in profile, which do not build binary
  • as autotools saves the binary, the binary is correctly included in jar

Downstream will need to patch a bit to get rid of bundled binary and avoid cross compilation.

do I miss something? Ok to try?

pls assign to me if possible

[judovana]

it is nice to hav efeedback. Have finished crosscompilation proof of concept,will include it like above

[judovana]

Hm. I run to some issues - it seems that current aautotools setup is unable to properly crosscrompile (can not find libcriu.so, even with #25 in)
@gnu-andrew Do youthink you can help with proper cross compilation support in your makefiles?
