Re: [Jython-dev] Natively compiled jython, take II.

Hi

1. I know nothing about gcj rt.
2. I know a little about jython rt ;)

a) Unless you pass an explicit python.home property (in the sense of
System.getProperty)
to jython rt and if there is no real jython.jar, jython is unable to
locate the Lib dir
and put it in sys.path and to find the global registry. A user-specific
.jython registry
can be used as a workaround.

b) Does gcj has the java.class.path property somehow set.
   Jython rt tries to scan the jars and dirs on classpath in order to
list the java packages
  that are candidate for loading. Given what you describe it seems that
gcj classpath is
empty or contain at most the cwd. When you put the java symlink in the
cwd you enable
jython to do its scan. At the moment there is no direct workaround wrt to
gcj setting,
which - it seems - does not  implement/need a proper classpath for
classes that can be/are linked.

regards.
