Haha. :-) Actually, I'll be lucky if I can get it to compile= . My previous attempts have all failed. I can get a working gcc and g++, bu= t gcj never succeeds for me. It takes several days to get through just one = iteration of the preliminary gcc build on my PowerBook G4 before it fails. = I'd probably be better off to run a cross compile on my i5 Fedora machine t= o get a version for my PowerBook G4. I could probably pull the old Fedora s= ource rpm as a starting point to get the right configuration parameters. I = think it's the missing gcj dependencies that always cause the failures. I'v= e never gotten a successful compile of gcj on Windows either. I've tried us= ing other people's configure parameters, but they're always for a different= version of gcc/gcj than what I'm trying to compile and they don't work. -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Haley [mailto:aph@redhat.com]=20 Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2017 4:59 AM To: bill.chatfield@yahoo.com; 'mohan NMH' Cc: java@gcc.gnu.org Subject: Re: Fwd: gcj can not import packages On 16/01/17 17:40, Bill Chatfield via java wrote: >=20 > Also, I feel that gcj was a great achievement on the part of the FSF=20 > and the open source community.
