[Java-gnome-developer] libgtk-java-2.5.1 impressions

[Joe M. C. <ma...@Fr...>]

In my effort to port as much GNOME as possible to FreeBSD, I started on
the Java-GNOME packages last night.  After some considerable hacking, I
has able to get libgtk-java ported.  I do have some impressions (and
patches if desired).  I hope you don't mind me sharing.  Again, this is
libgtk-java-2.5.1 that was uploaded to the GNOME mirrors yesterday.

* The root Makefile is missing a ';' in the install target
* The gtk/src Makefile references LIBGTKHTML_CFLAGS, GNOME_CFLAGS, and
LIBGLADE_CFLAGS.  I assume these are vestiges of the Java-GNOME split,
but since they are unexpanded by configure, they break the build.
* The gtk/src Makefile links with --no-undefined, but this causes
unresolved libc symbols on FreeBSD, and thus -lc is also needed.  I'm
not sure if this is a problem for Linux.
* The documentation is not properly installed since the doc directory
macro is not expanded by configure.
* Finally, the library installed is libgtkjava2.3.so.2.3.1, but the API
tries to load libgtkjava2.5.so.

Other than that, it works quite well.  Like I said, I do have patches
for all of this, but I wasn't sure if these new GNOME mirror images are
ready for general consumption, or if I jumped the gun.  Thanks.

Joe
