Do you think we need to do more in our configure script? If you have an
example configure script for a well-behaving free Java program, could
you possibly point me in the direction of it so I can possibly copy some
sections. (I suspect such an example would be useful to lots of open
source Java projects, not just ours)

Do you know which versions?

Thanks. will fix now.

It should be defined, but I haven't done much work on it, so it's likely
to be broken. I will check through the install targets today.

We need to add versions to that.=20
Those two are correct, but glade, gtkhtml, gconf and vte have separate
libs now. I will look into it.

Fixed in cvs. I have no idea how this worked for me. I guess I must have
had classpath set already.

gtkhtml is still being written, so this is expected. It's not going to
be on the modules list for the gnome bindings release (for the moment,
anyway).

> vte-Terminal doesn't compile:
Looks like it's missing some libraries. vte was never in the build
scripts properly anyway - it had a separate build-vte.sh script. I will
look into it.

Thanks a lot for all your help so far. This is really useful.=20
I will make modifications today fixing the above and upload another
tarball later. If you could test that, it would be really useful.
