However, gij does not appear to support either option, though it does support a CLASSPATH environment variable. It also supports the -jar option. > Having to specify -C to compile to .class. > You were complaining about $(JAVAC). I don't understand what is the problem is with JAVAC="gcj -C". I've set up the Kawa configure+Makefiles so that if you configure --with-gcj not only do the .java files get compiled to a .jar using gcj -C, but they also get compiled to a kawa-VERSION.so and a kawa executable. If you don't specify --with-gcj the default for $(JAVAC) is "java", though you can of course also use "jikes" - or "gcj -C". >The goal is to just update an alternative, and be able to use gcj. > Since I don't know how /etc/alternatives mechanism works, I can't help you there. But in the worst you need to do is write a script: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/gcj -C "$@" -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
