RE: Cygnus Native Interface

[Glenn Chambers <GChambers at provsol dot com>]

I've put together a couple of trivial examples of
how to get CNI to actually compile and link in both the
2.95 and 2.96 worlds.

Consider these to be in the public domain.  I didn't bother
formatting them for inclusion in the FAQ or web site, though
I could do that if desired.

Here is a sample project demonstrating the basics of building
a CNI application with GCJ version 2.95.

It assumes that you have installed the binaries to /usr/local/bin.

Version 2.95 does not install the include files necessary to 
compile CNI programs, so you'll need to reference the source
and build directories to get the relevant files.

This drawback is corrected in version 2.96.

The source directory is /home/gcc/source/libgcj-2.95.1.
The build directory is /home/gcc/build/libgcj
