Dunno if this will help right now (I haven't built in a month or so), but
try downloading Jikes
(http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/jikes/project/) and
compile using that. That is what I used last time.
You will notice that it compiles *many* times faster than Sun's javac.

Subject: classpath from CVS
Hi folks,
OK, I have classpath configured now (thanks Tom).
However, when I try to build, I ran into problems. I have documented
them below, in case they would be of help.
OK, I gather that Classpath is certainly not on general release. At
the momment, I am working on JVMs more than class libraries. I don't
mind putting in a bit of work to get it going but there is little
point in plaguing this list with my problems if I can wait a while
for it to settle down before jumping on board.
Should I wait? Do you folks have plans for a beta release in the pipeline?
Thanks again for your help,
Chris Dornan

--------------- classpath build probs ---------------
[Again, I am building a CVS checked-out source tree, pointing
`with-java' at a JDK 1.2.1 `java'.]
1) When it does a `javac' on all the .java files I get some compiler errors:
a) java/lang/String.java:86: Invalid expression statement.
val
^
and the file contains:
public String() {
value = new char[0];
val
}
Does enyone know why it has this?
b) nu/java/awt/image/ImageDecoder.java:40: Missing term.
cm =
^
the file contains:
static
{
String endian = System.getProperties ().getProperty
("gnu.cpu.endian");
if (endian == null)
cm =
}
It looks as if some preprocessing step has substituted a null string
where it shouldn't have.
c) java/awt/Image.java:23: Package java.awt.image not found in import.
import java.awt.image.*;
^
I get many, many of these messages. Is this because I am running a
recenct, fussy, JDK 1.2.1 java.
d) /gnu/japhar-0.08/bin/javah --jni --classpath
.:/gnu/japhar-0.08/share/classes.zip java.io.File
java/lang/ClassNotFoundException (com.sun.tools.javah.Main)
Hmnn, it is running japhar now?
