Well, the command line to javac is something like:

javac source/tjc/*.java

It does that instead of passing a huge number of filenames on the command line
because the exec blows up under Windows when the command line is too long.
I wonder if the Unix version of javac can't accept a file name pattern like the
Windows version does.

You could try to disable that pattern logic in jdk.tcl and see if that fixes it.

You don't need to pass --disable-tclblend there since --enable-jacl
already does that implicitly. Also, you need to install before
running the tjc2 target.

make
make install
make tjc2

Notification is already implemented:

TJC::compile foo -readyvar rvar
vwait rvar
puts stderr "rvar result is \{$rvar\}"
