Assistance with GCJ 4.6 in MINGW32

Assistance with GCJ 4.6 in MINGW32

[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 think this was answered on May 30.  However, I'm not sure if MINGW32
works with gcc 4.6.0.  The MinGW lists might be a good place to ask.

Also answered on May 30.

Likewise.

Andrew.

Where does on go for the May 30 email?
I don't seem to have a copy of it.
[if it is relevant, the MINGW32 people directed me
to this email address, gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org]
