Running the configuration and compilation of version 1.3.31 on SuSE linux as follows:
cd swig-1.3.31 ./configure make make check
error occurs. Please see attached file for details.
Error output
This is for the gcj tests which havn't been maintained for quite some time. You can work around the problem by using ./configure --without-gcj.
GCJ was removed in GCC 7 - https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html :
*Java (GCJ)
The GCC Java frontend and associated libjava runtime library have been removed from GCC.*
But it's been on the decline for years - I'd suggest we strip out our GCJ support for 4.0, since it seems that support also isn't in a good way.
+1 for removing gcj detection and tests. I've never heard of anyone using it.
