[Fwd: Re: [gl4java-usergroup] compiling errors on linux]

[Pepijn V. E. <pep...@lu...>]

If I recall correctly, the code you mention isn't used if you're running
gl4java on a 1.4 jdk. However for 1.3 (and earlier ?) you do need them.
To make them compile properly you should check that the JAVAC_13
variable in symbols.mak is pointing to a 1.3 jdk.
Personally, it took me quite some effort to get the CVS version of
gl4java to compile, but once everything is set up properly it does work
fine (compiled and tested with jdk 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 on windows, linux and
solaris).
