------- Additional Comments From mckinlay at redhat dot com 2005-04-04 21:27 ------- Yeah, in the case where java-gcj-compat is merged into libgcj (ie libgcj is set up to look like a JVM) then this option makes sense.
libgcj would install its .jars and whatever other JVMish files applications expect to find into this directory, and set java.home accordingly. I don't see a reason why we couldn't go ahead and implement this on HEAD now, even though an external wrapper would still be needed for now to use ecj as javac. I so think it seems a bit non-intuitive to have --with-java-home just set a property and not actually install things into that directory, relying on an external package to actually populate it, however. We should at least install libgcj.jar into the directory given? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20750
