To overcome this, you have to run your Java program and place a pause in the Java code, such as reading a key, and then in another shell, run gdb to attach to the running Java process. You can then set your breakpoint on your JNI code and debug it. Here is an example : Compile your Java program: $ javac JNITest.java Generate the JNI header file: $ javah -jni JNITest.java Create and compile your C code library: $ cat jnilib.c #include "JNITest.h" JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL Java_JNITest_addValues( JNIEnv
