Some *.sh files and lib errors

[resul-tufekcigil]

Describe the bug

hello, we tried to install the safekeeping files, but we could not install because the steps and file paths are different from the readme.md file and we had problems running some *.sh files. Do you have a cleaner explanation or installation guide for installation?
Thank you in advance for helping

Reproduction steps

1. install safekeeping 
2. unzip safekeeping
3. install vddk files
4. copy vddk /safekeepingGit/native-libraries/jdisk/linux/vddk/
5. start ./buildVddkLibraries.sh

Expected behavior

Additional context

again

What version of Linux are you using? All scripts has been tested for Centos

[resul-tufekcigil]

Centos 7

[mdaneri]

When you say install VDDk what do you mean?
The requirement is to download the VDDK library from VMware and copy the tar file as is inside the vddk folder
Nothing else is required

[resul-tufekcigil]

yes, in fact ı use version 7.0.3 tar.gz file

[mdaneri]

Can you please translate the compilation error?

[resul-tufekcigil]

Fatal error the Red charters does not exist jni.h library
And not found tar in jvix
Can ı ask a questions?
Which centos versions tested?

[mdaneri]

Sorry for the silly question
have you downloaded the right VDDK library?

[resul-tufekcigil]

Yes if u want ı give URLs

[mdaneri]

The file name is enough

[resul-tufekcigil]

VMware-vix-disklib-7.0.3-19513565.x86_64.tar
but we again compress tar.gz

[mdaneri]

https://customerconnect.vmware.com/downloads/get-download?downloadGroup=VDDK70U3 doesn't have a build 19513565
in any case, the file should have a file name ending in tar.gz example: VMware-vix-disklib-7.0.3-18705163.x86_64.tar.gz

The last VDDK version available is VMware-vix-disklib-7.0.3-20134304.x86_64.tar.gz

[resul-tufekcigil]

I downloaded the file named VMware-vix-disklib-7.0.3-18705163.x86_64.tar.gz

I copied the safekeeping/native-libraries/jdisk/linux/vddk folder
I ran the buildVddkLibraries.sh file in the safekeeping/native-libraries/jdisk/linux/ folder but I get the same error :(

[mdaneri]

I'm going to deploy a centos 7 and I’ll back to you

[mdaneri]

I just finished to test Centos 7

[root@localhost linux]# uname -r
3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64
[root@localhost linux]# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.9.2009 (Core)

There was an issue with ./prepare.sh . The Java versions was trying to download are not available anymore. I fix them and now ./prepare.sh works again.

Regarding the native-libraries build I tried, and everything work fine. These are my steps:
sudo yum install open-vm-tools wget java-1.8.0-openjdk gcc zip gcc-c++ make unzip git git clone https://github.com/vmware/safekeeping.git cd safekeeping ./prepare.sh -jdk8 cd native-libraries/jdisk/linux

I copied all my VDDK libraries inside the vddk directory

[root@localhost linux]# cd vddk/
[root@localhost vddk]# ls

cd ..
./buildVddkLibraries.sh

After that

cd ..
./gradlew installDist

[resul-tufekcigil]

Thank you vixlib worked but when I run ./gradlew installDist I get the following errors.
The version I'm trying to run is 2.0.2

$ ./gradlew installDist

It's normal, these are warnings, not errors. The unsafe is a requirement to run safekeeping with JRE 11. Without that SOAP call doesn't work
