Questions about GCJ 4.6.0

Questions about GCJ 4.6.0

[Zachary Mitchell]

I wish to install the GCJ 4.6.0 version.

I wish to compile from source.  I have read the documentation,
and don't find it useful for my situation.

I am running the MinGW32 environment, which has
gcc already installed as part of it's default MSYS 1.0
installation.

I ask the following:

-Does the GCJ 4.6.0 allow java code to be compiled
into Linux/Mac/Windows executables,
ie machine code for those operating systems?

-For a small Test.java program,
could I be given an example gcj command line
for a particular example for the previous question?

-Is 4.6.0 considered stable, and does it support
new things in Java like Generics/autoboxing-unboxing/annotations/Enums?

-Does it work of a PATH/CLASSPATH variable?

-How do I
$> ./configure;make;install;
with success under mingw32?

I don't know about Mac and Windows, but GNU/Linux should be fine.

gcj --main=Test Test.java

Yes, yes.  Are you trying not to read any documents?

Sorry, I can't help you with this.  But I do know not to run configure in
the source directory.
