>Description:
GCJ-3.0 fails to compile simple java programs whose main class
file has a package declaration
>How-To-Repeat:
Here's a file Test.java:
,----[ Test.java ]
| package gnu.foo;
|
| class Test {
| public static void main(String[] args) {
| System.out.println("Hello, World!");
| }
| }
`----
Compiling it fails like:
,----[ *compilation** ]
| gcj-3.0 -o Test --main=Test Test.java
| /tmp/cctAs4jG.o: In function `main':
| /tmp/ccvuhFZz.i(.text+0x2e): undefined reference to `Test::class$'
| /tmp/ccvuhFZz.i(.text+0x32): undefined reference to `Test::class$'
| collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
`----
>Fix:
If I remove the package declaration, everything seems to work
fine. I've experienced this with larger packages; I believe it's
just having a package declaration in the file with the "main" function
that causes a failure.
