GCJ on mingw32 resignation.

GCJ on mingw32 resignation.

[Me Myself and I]

I'm pretty well giving up on compiling GCJ under mingw32, or Windows 7 for that matter.

Is there a GCJ, compiled for windows already, that I can download?

One that is not the Java Native Compiler a la IBM, because it is payment limited.

And certainly not gcc43ecj-20061207.tar, which puts too much into the executable file.

One that supports 1.5 tiger syntax options and beyond..

And doesn't require commercial payment.

And compiles an executable binary, as well as the option to build .class files?

A URL, anyone?

It shouldn't be that hard.  You just have to replace the boehm-gc with
an upstream version.  The one in the GCC tree doesn't work (for
mingw-w64), and it's a giant massive uphill (losing) battle to get
everyone on the same page to update it.

I admit I haven't tried it recently, but I did build it once before.

Unfortunately, I can't get that far.

gcc-core-4.6.2.tar
gcc-java-4.6.2.tar
gc6.8.tar

are the files I have.  Now, Ive been told that I have to compile gcc-core-4.6.2.tar and
have that running successfully first.  This isn't working, due to an error message
which I learn from the email list is due to an error I must be making, which I am not,
and is therefore impossible.  

So I turn to my gcc-java file, which I try to use standalone without the core file.  I find that it has 4 directories.
I have replaced, configured maked installed 2 of those directories with more up to date versions
of their programs, with no problems.  These 2 are boehm-gc and libffi.

However, I find that in ...gcc/java/ there isn't a configure script at all to start from,
and that in .../libjava/ the configure script fails on the first line.

Am I doing the wrong thing here?  Can gcc-java-4.6.2.tar be used to build my gcj, without the gcc-core-4.6.2.tar

file?  If not, can I please just be sent a link or an archive file of someone's successful build of gcj on windows mingw32
(which is not the eclipse version)?

Since I'm reall not succeeding from source code!
