Re: How to do bootstrap build on OSX to get gcj?

I would like to build the sources on OSX to get gcj. I've downloaded gcc-core-4.1.1.tar.bz2, gcc-g++-4.1.1.tar.bz2, and gcc-java-4.1.1.tar.bz2 and then un-tarred them. Not sure at this point what to do to configure the build and then invoke the bootstrap build.

Anyone know how I should proceed?

FYI, I've never succeeded in building gcj using the modular tarballs myself, and I don't think many people test that method. You're probably better off using full tarball (gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2). Also note that the darwin-i386 build does not work without significant manual effort.


The following should work on PPC:

 $ tar xjf gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2
 $ mkdir gcc-build
 $ cd gcc-build
 $ ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --enable-bootstrap \
	--enable-languages=c,c++,java --enable-libgcj
 $ make && make install

Hope that helps.
