How to get full path linkage for the jvm shared library

[Jim Laskey (Oracle)]

I have a service library that creates an instance of the jvm (on OEL linux.)  I have no control of where the library is used or how the environment is configured, ie., it needs to be self contained.

When I link. I more or less...

g++ *.cpp /usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so -Wl,-whole-archive *.a -Wl,-no-whole-archive -o libmine.so

ldd  libmine.so

	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffc183d6000)
	libjvm.so => not found
	libstdc++.so.6 => /lib64/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00007f18fd1f4000)
	libm.so.6 => /lib64/libm.so.6 (0x00007f18fcef2000)
	libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib64/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x00007f18fccdc000)
	libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007f18fc91a000)
	/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x000055d478b6b000)

The only way I can get this to work where needed is to 

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/amd64/server:.

How do I get the linker to hard code the full jvm library path so this is unnecessary?

Cheers,
