Two queries: I just installed jikes. It doesn't work; it can't find any files in /usr/share/java/repository/lang (which doesn't exist; only the repository does). Question -- which package do I need to install to fix this, and why doesn't jikes depend on it?
Second question: I'm using jdk1.1.7 and having problems with dependencies with javac. It looks a lot smarter than it really is! It seems that if I have three files, class1.java which uses class2.java which uses class3.java, and I "javac class1.java", it compiles all 3. If I then change class3.java, and re-run "javac class1.java", it doesn't rebuild class3. Is there a fix to this? Unfortunately it's a uni assignment and we don't have any compiler except jdk available officially, so even though I have the others at home, I won't in the end. I wrote a moderately complicated Makefile to handle this, but that means explicitly naming all dependencies. Alternatively, can I tell javac not to do any internal dependencies, so I must name them all? Otherwise things can fail silently. I was changing one source file tonight, recompiling the main class, and not seeing my changes. thanks, Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt VK3SB. CCs of replies on mailing lists are welcome.
