hi gcj experts,

i've spent some time already trying to statically cross compile a java
source for an embedded mipsel architecture. i'm using openembedded
and gcc-4.4.4 with the latest java part imported from master

in the makefile, i am using the command

$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) $(SOURCES) \

		-static-libgcj \
		-fjni \
		-g \
		-o dumphd-mipsel-static \
		
		 --main=dumphd.core.DumpHD \
		
		-nostdlib \
		-L/dream/oe1.6/dm8000/build/tmp/staging/mipsel-oe-linux/usr/lib
\
		-L/dream/projects/bluray/aacskeys-0.4.0c-mipsel/lib/linux/ \
		-Wl,-rpath-link,/dream/oe1.6/dm8000/build/tmp/staging/mipsel-oe-

linux/usr/lib \

-Wl,-rpath-link,/dream/projects/bluray/aacskeys-0.4.0c-

mipsel/lib/linux/ -laacskeys \

-shared-libgcc -Wl,-non_shared -lgcj -Wl,-call_shared -lstdc++ -

Wl,--as-needed -lgcc_s -lpthread -lc -lm -ldl -lrt -Wl,--no-as-needed
-Wl,-O1

this may contain a lot of redundancies or look silly in many ways but
for right now i just aggregated as much as possible in there from
what i could find online.

i've also set
CLASSPATH=/dream/oe1.6/dm8000/build/tmp/cross/mipsel/bin/ecj.jar:./

when i run make, linking fails:

/dream/oe1.6/dm8000/build/tmp/cross/mipsel/lib/gcc/mipsel-oe-

i'd be grateful for any suggestions or hints.

This looks completely broken: it seems to be trying to statically link against libgcj. Try it without -non_shared.

To expound on this, the '-static-libgcj' option was created so that all the other things you have there would be unneeded.

I doubt you want any of: -shared-libgcc -Wl,-non_shared -lgcj
-Wl,-call_shared -lstdc++ -Wl,--as-needed -lgcc_s -lpthread -lc -lm -ldl
-lrt -Wl,--no-as-needed -Wl,-O1


Start off with -static-libgcj on a very simple 'hello-world' type program. Then start adding all your other things in.

hi david!


actually i was already successful statically cross compiling java programs as
complex as projectx:

it works both the traditional way
projectx-static-oldfashioned: $(OBJS)
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o ac3.o --resource ac3.bin
../resources/ac3.bin
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o pjxresources_en.o --resource
pjxresources_en.properties ../resources/pjxresources_en.properties
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) $(OBJS) pjxresources_en.o ac3.o -
Djava.awt.headless=true --main=net.sourceforge.dvb.projectx.common.Start -
save-temps
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcc -o projectx $(OBJS) pjxresources_en.o ac3.o
./net.sourceforge.dvb.projectx.common.Startmain.i \
	-shared-libgcc -Wl,-non_shared -lgcj -Wl,-call_shared -lsupc++ -Wl,--as-
needed -lgcc_s -lpthread -lc -lm -ldl -lrt -Wl,--no-as-needed
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip --strip-all projectx

and with the new nifty -static-libgcj convenience parameter
projectx-static:
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o ac3.o --resource ac3.bin
../resources/ac3.bin
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj $(JFLAGS) -c -o pjxresources_en.o --resource
pjxresources_en.properties ../resources/pjxresources_en.properties
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)gcj -static-libgcj -o projectx $(SOURCES)
pjxresources_en.o ac3.o \
	-Djava.awt.headless=true --main=net.sourceforge.dvb.projectx.common.Start
	$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip --strip-all projectx

however, what's different about this new program is that it requires that c++
compiled shared object libaacskeys.so and that's what causes my problems i
guess


Things can get complicated when linking in C++ code with the gcj driver program. I would think all you would need is -lsupc++, and perhaps -lstdc++.


-nostdlib looks a bit questionable to me.

In any event it is good to see that people are still making use of gcj on mips.
