#3 not. #3 is just that you changed to a compiler which didn't yet work with the source. #1 is java-gcj-compat[-dev] problem and #2 is that patch. After a second look, although the newest java-gcj-compat contains a libjawt.so link it'd not help anyway since it doesn't look in i386/ for JDK == gcj. > the Debian version of the package.

I other cases you of course should give info, but in this trivial case... (at least for someone who did the offending patch himself as gcj had libjawt..) > Rene> You need forward declarations.

I am currently working on 1.9.114 which needs some finetuning still I guess and then a i386 and powerpc (17 hrs!) build before I can upload it. Regards, Rene -- .''`.
