Re: Another GCJ win32 bug "regex" (String.split()) not working

[Andreas Grunewald <gruni at users dot sourceforge dot net>]

Aha I see.
thing is, I don't want to do dynamic linking because I want one exe file 
and don't want to have other files to be dependent on.
Dynamic linking should be possible on windowsas far as the README goes 
that is included with the thisiscool distribution.

I don't understand this, what do you mean with "usually this is compiled 
in to libgcj.so" if it is compiled into it then why isn't it there ?
And why is there no way for the compiler ? If String.slipt() is compiled 
correctly it should work, or throw an error at compiletime, that a 
needed resource is unavailable. I don't understand why this can not be 
resolved at compile time.

Could you give me a hint how I could do this ?

Why is that ?

Thanks for the fast answer, I really whish I could help are there any 
efforts of a more intensive Win32 development. Especially in making the 
gcj easier to use and easier to install.
