Using Debian? good thing ;-) Yes, you can apt-get kaffe (1.1.4) and the pre 1.1.5 should be out soon (waiting for ftpmasters to accept it)! You can also apt-get jikes, gcj, gij, classpath, and they are pretty up-to-date ;-) Other distro's? There are other distro's? ;-) Cheers, -- Arnaud Vandyck Packages should build-depend on what they should build-depend. -- Santiago Vila on debian-devel _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
