[Java-gnome-developer] Compiling 0.7.1 on Red Hat 7.2

[Paul G. <pau...@bi...>]

Hi all,

In between all the Korean spam :-), has anyone managed to compile
java-gnome 0.7.1 in the following environment?

Red Hat 7.2 with the following packages:
    gcc3-3.0.1-3
    gcc3-java-3.0.1-3
    libgcc-3.0.1-3
    libgcj-2.96-27
    libgcj3-devel-3.0.1-3
    libgcj3-3.0.1-3
    jikes-1.14-1
    IBMJava2-SDK-1.3-9.0

I'd really like to be able to build a gcj version of java-gnome.  Has
anyone done this?  I found at least the following patch had to be
applied, just to build the non-gcj version:

I suspect the .java.o rule in the same file would need to be modified
to build a GCJ version in this configuration.  I tried this, but
configure fails before it ever gets there, and i can't see a way to
override $(GCJ) like you can $(CC).

Being able to build with jikes would be a bonus, too, since it's so
much faster?  I tried uncommenting the jikes line in aclocal.m4 (and
changing it to use /usr/bin/jikes), but no joy.  I also tried 'make
JAVAC="jikes -bootclasspath /opt/IBMJava2-13/jre/lib/rt.jar"', but no
luck there, either - it fails with CLASSPATH problems when trying to
compile all the gnu/gtk/... files.  Any ideas?
