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. :)
