Not directly, though it may cause some problems with some Makefile - for example libtool ones. (But the solution there is probably to fix libtool.) > It's also compatible with javac, no? It's compatible with java. javac does not take -D flags. Thus gij has to take -D flags, but it was a debatable design decision as to whether gcj should take -D the way it does. But now it does and I don't see any strong enough reason to change it. -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://www.bothner.com/per/
