Yes - it's a runtime failure. Sorry for not making that clear.


We'll grab the latest snapshot of GCJ and try it again on our system.

Assuming this is a runtime failure, it's likely to be caused by the fact that Mandrake 6.1 aparently uses a kernel configured for > 1GB physical memory.  This causes the main process stack to start at an address different from what the garbage collector expects.  This is fixed in more recent versions of the garbage collector.

We have just installed gcj on a Linux/intel machine. When we compile a trivial hello world program we get a segmentation violation. Does GCJ work under Linux on intel?

No.  GNU/Linux and Windows have entirely different, incompatible
runtime environments, you can't just say "I want this to run on
Windows" and expect a GNU/Linux compiler to link to the Windows
runtime.  You'd need a cross-compiler targeting Windows, as described
at rmathew's document that you've been posting, which would need
copies of all the Windows runtime files (i.e. the binaries for
"mingw-runtime" and "w32api")

Assuming you're talking about x86, it's -m32, as documented in the GCC manual.

Maybe it would be easier to just run normal Java code on Windows,
instead of compiling to native code with gcj.

GCJ on Linux

[Me Myself and I]

Does gcj on Linux give the option to compile for windows?

Can someone tell me what the appropriate windows switch is?

I have a 64 bit Linux OS install.  IS there a 32 bit compile switch, and does anyone know it?

Yes. If you can build a test case containing code you can make public,
then you can file a PR ( http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cgi-bin/gnatsweb.pl )
and someone will be able to tell you whether this is an already fixed,
known or new bug.

I'm assuming you're getting a compiler bug, as opposed to a runtime
bug. Am I right?
