[gl4java-usergroup] compiling

[Daniel B. <da...@gm...>]

hi,

just tried to compile gl4java (in Linux) but i've somewhat big problems. I've 
read in the archive of some successful compilations, but i can't comprehend, 
how you did that. Think, the makefile is somewhat ... ahm let us call it - 
not perfect at all. 
I am wondering why 'make x11' is trying to write all kinds of files to 
directories outside the compilation directory. If compiling fails the crap of 
compilation spreads over my file system, apart from that some rm cmds are not 
correct too. For example make tries to remove my /usr/local/lib directory ... 

rm -f /usr/local/lib /libGL4JavaJauGljJNI13tst.*
rm: cannot remove `/usr/local/lib': Is a directory
make: *** [/usr/local/lib] Error 1

That's not really kewl at all ... 
So my question is, how did the people, who stated the successfull compilation, 
accomplish that? Became root and disregard, what the script does?
