[jakarta-servletapi]: libtool problems

[Nicholas Wourms]

Hi,

I have gcj-3.2 and was attempting to compile the package.  However, when 
it gets to linking the jakarta-servletapi library, it fails.  The reason 
is because it appears that libtool is trying to build a library with 
non-libtool objects (LocalStrings.o, etc.).  Surely someone else has 
encountered this.

Cheers,
Nicholas

What platform are you building on?  This is usually a warning, not an
error.

Ok, I guess I should fess up to the fact that I'm trying to build it on 
your sister project, Cygwin.  I take it, then, that the problem lies in 
libtool?  I'll have a look at it then...

Not necessarily.   gcj builds object files out of property files with
the --resource flag.  libtool doesn't know how to do this, so I haven't
been using the regular libtool build mechanisms.  This makes libtool
complain that it's linking libtool and non-libtool object files together
-- but like I said, it's just a warning under Linux.  I've CC'd Alex
Oliva in case he has any ideas.  Teaching libtool about gcj resource
files will probably be hard.  Perhaps we could fake it out by generating
.lo files on our own...
