Build Quarkus native image with manually linking dependency

Question

I'm trying to build a native quarkus application (Apple M2 Max chip), however I am using the library jSerialComm for serial communication.

Upon building quarkus via:

$ /mvn install -Dnative 

I receive the following error:

Detailed message:

        at org.graalvm.nativeimage.pointsto/com.oracle.graal.pointsto.constraints.UnsupportedFeatures.report(UnsupportedFeatures.java:126)

        ... 6 more
Caused by: com.oracle.graal.pointsto.constraints.UnresolvedElementException: Discovered unresolved method during parsing: com.fazecast.jSerialComm.android.AndroidPort.getCommPortsNative(). This error is reported at image build time because class com.fazecast.jSerialComm.SerialPort is registered for linking at image build time by command line and command line.

Or short:

This error is reported at image build time because class com.fazecast.jSerialComm.SerialPort is registered for linking at image build time by command line and command line.

Is there a way to fix this error or are libraries that are registered for linking at image build time by command line or command line and native builds incompatible?

Answer 1

this is common issue when using libraries not supported by Quarkus. The cause behind it is usually some missing dependency on the classpath.

Please have a look at this FAQ entry of Quarkus' Native Reference Guide for more info.
