Hi, the functionality provided by javah has been folded into javac in
recent JDKs.
These days you can make one call to "javac -h" instead of having to
call both "javac" and "javah"
I ported quite a few packages this way when Fedora made the switch to
Java 11 by default. If you like I can probably take a look libguestfs
and send you a PR?
Sure thing, thanks.
However before you start you might also want to know that there are
apparently some serious GC-related problems with how those bindings
work:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1536762
so it might be more of a saga than just changing a few commands.
