Re: [Java-gnome-developer] CVS changes

[Mark H. <mh...@ca...>]

This is proving to be a lot trickier than I anticipated. I now have the
makefiles in java-gnome/gtk working, building a library including
glib,gdk,gtk,pango and atk (they have to be put together due to circular
dependencies). gnome,gtkhtml and glade are also working, apart from the
gcj native builds.

I'm going to stop my development now since things are working slightly.
The make scripts still need a lot of work doing to them before the
release (10 days max!). If anybody on this list knows even the slightest
about make, please could you fetch java-gnome from cvs and try building
it.


TODO: (please help)
  - find out why @GCJFLAGS@ isn't working
  - get gcj native builds working
  - get separate tarball builds working. (All my work so far has been
	trying to get the main cvs tree/all-in-one tarball to build). This
	involved writing configure scripts for each module which will find
	the required libraries, e.g. the gnome config script will replace
	@GTKJAR@ with the path to the gtk jar file, @NATIVEGTKJAR@ with the
	path to the so file, etc.
  - makefiles for documentation packages
  - make gcj native builds optional
  - Try building java-gnome and fix any other errors
  - Build individual tarballs, extract and try building them.
