[Java-gnome-developer] problems building java-gnome on locked-down solaris machine due to junit.jar

[Andrew M. <and...@db...>]

Hello,

I am trying to build java-gnome on a solaris machine that is locked down 
and has no SAs. configure says it cannot proceed because there is no 
junit.jar. Well, there is no junit.jar in the std places because this 
machine does not have any SAs that would put it there. I do have my own 
copy of junit.jar and I include it in my CLASSPATH. But configure does not 
seem to take any notice. Is configure supposed to take notice? If not then 
I am going to be completely stuck. From what I have seen of the configure 
script it expects to find junit.jar in /usr/share/junit/lib. It seems like 
once is passes this check it is going to expect other jars in various 
hardcoded locations, e.g. /usr/share/java/glib-4.0.jar, 
/usr/share/java/gtk-4.0.jar. On the machine I am using they it will never 
be possible to put jars there.

I also saw references to the environment variable $javagnome_home. Can 
someone please explain what this is for? It looks to me like configure 
looks in $javagnome_home/share/java for some of the jars. But I do not see 
any jars in the tarball I downloaded. I am sorry these probably seem like 
really basic questions, I just assumed I would be able to do a ./configure 
&& make. I thought it would come with any jars that are needed. When I saw 
references to jars in $javagnome_home/share/java I assumed these must be 
part of java-gnome. Also, would it not be possible to include a copy of 
junit.tar in the java-gnome release?

Regards,

Andrew Marlow
