That must be the problem then. I'll look into updating.

Thank you,

Should xerces build out of the box?

[Elizabeth Barham]

Hi,

I know very little of java or gcj but I find this project very
exciting and hope to aid somehow.

Via the pserver I pulled down the rhug tree and tried to compile
xerces and xalan - the two applications I am most intetested in
using. I could not get xerces to compile.

gcj -C --encoding=8859_1 -fCLASSPATH=upstream/src:./upstream/src -O2 -d upstream/src upstream/src/org/apache/xerces/validators/common/XMLContentModel.java
upstream/src/org/apache/xerces/validators/common/XMLValidator.java:5420: Type `Entry' not found in declaration of field `fEntries'.
           private Entry[] fEntries = null;
                   ^
1 error
make: *** [upstream/src/org/apache/xerces/validators/common/XMLContentModel.class] Error 1

Is this to be expected?

Thanks,
Elizabeth

What version of gcj are you using?

rhug requires the latest CVS trunk gcc -- what will eventually be
known as gcc 3.1.  This is a pain, because it means you have to build
your own gcc.  However, it is necessary for now.  gcj and libgcj are
still changing quite rapidly.  Older releases, even gcj 3.0, are
noticeably less capable.
