Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Problems to install java-gnome-0.8

[Luca De R. <pie...@li...>]

Although  this is not a help request list, I think you must end up with 
lib/gtk-0.8.0.jar, lib/gnome-0.8.0.jar, lib/glade-0.8.0.jar. The
Makefile was amended few days ago by me and by Dan Pilone, as well as
the spec file. They work perfectly for me now, and it's strange you have
had such results. I don't know if you have rpm on Gentoo, however if you
have it, you better use the spec file.

Possible bugs or shortcomings in the build-system might be of =20
development interest I assumed. ;)

Problem here was that I didn't have ant installed. configure didn't =20
complain, but used the empty output for the command instead, which =20
resulted in silent errors which I didn't notice in the first run.
I'd suggest to check for ant and to abort configure if it's not there.

One more problem in the process was the CLASSPATH. In src/Makefile.in =20
it's set to "build-java/gtk:build-java/gnome:build-java/glade", whereas =20
for compilation it needs classes in packages "org.gnu.gtk.*" and so on, =20
which are all in the directory "java", so changing the CLASSPATH to =20
simply "java" solved that for me.

And then I come to a yet unresolved problem with install-targets. I =20
chose gnome and gcj-compile, so configure generated the following =20
install-target for me:

# Install targets
install: gnome_install glade_install gnome_native_install =20
glade_native_install

But gnome_install and gnome_native_install both try to install =20
partially the same things, so I get errors in "ln"-operation.
I have no clue how the system is menat to be set up, so...


There are two more issues unmentioned, which I could solve, I'll get to =20
them later, if you are interested into getting them reported. Didn't =20
mean this as a simple support-request.

I don't understand how this can work for you... ;)

I certainly could extract that in a way, but I'd prefer a clean =20
solution and a self-compiled package. :)

It should abort... however if you check the configure output (or
config.log, I can't remember) it says "checking for ant:... no"

Well, I have to confirm that it's works well for me from today's CVS
which also fixes the GStringArray bug. The build-java directory is
created during the build process. Maybe a bad ant installation?

It seems like you are not using the latest cvs version; I dunno, really.
I had no problems with this, I used "./configure --with-gcj-compile"
after patching the configure script because gcj was not correctly
detected. I'll post the patch to the list soon.

No offense was intended. It sounded like a help request to me :)

Hope this helps,

I had no problems with this, I used "./configure --with-gcj-compile"
after patching the configure script because gcj was not correctly
detected (at least on Redhat 9). I'll post the patch to the list soon.
