Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Compiling the examples codes

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

Be aware that you're mixing development and released stable versions of
the code.

That's the development branch

Whereas all those refer to libraries from the stable released version
(which is correct & what you should be testing against).

Have you had success using a normal Java VM first? GCJ can be a bit
tricky. 

Establish that you can compile with javac (ie, have your CLASSPATH
right) and then run using java (ie, have your LD_LIBRARY_PATH right) a
test program, then cycle back and try GCJ again.

To test, you might try entries.Entry - I find that a nice simple example
to start with.

[Oh, to that gcj command line, you might want to add a -o flag to say
where the output executable is going to go. That's nothing to do with
the problem you're having, though]

I've heard some Debian people mention their libraries were
in /usr/lib/jni for some absurd reason. You might need that on your
library path.
