Re: [Java-gnome-developer] Compile natively and static in windows

[Nicholas R. <ni...@mn...>]

There seems to be several problems with compiling natively on windows:

1. The WindowsCompilation page (which I wrote :-) says to run configure
with the --without-gcj-compile option.  This makes the build process
skip the building of the libgtkjava library.  This library is needed
however if you want to compile natively with GCJ.  On linux, having
configured and make'd without the --without-gcj-compile option, i am
able to natively compile using this command:

% cd doc/examples/TestTree
% gcj --classpath=/usr/local/jg-2.10/share/java/gtk2.6.jar
--main=TestTree.TestTree -L/usr/local/jg-2.10/lib -lgtkjava -o TestTree
TestTree.java

(NOTE: i also configured using the --prefix=/usr/local/jg-2.10 option.)

So, it should be the same process under windows (run configure without
the --without-gcj-compile option; use the gcj line above).  However
there are other problems. :-)

2. The configure script will not work if you don't use the
--without-gcj-compile option due to a bug in the gcj detection macros we
use.  I patched my version to fix the gcj detection under windows, but
still have not been able to create a native executable under windows.  I
am going to dig deeper here as i think there are some other issues
related to the gcj build process under windows, which prevents the
correct creation of the libgtkjava.so library.

I'll let you know once i find out more.

Cheers,
Nick
