Hi,
I do apologize in advance if this question is incorrectly addressed.
I've been tasked with building OpenOffice2.0 from source for the
Archlinux distribution.
Building without java is as you probably know already, no problems. But,
when attempting to integrate it and build with gcj I do have a few concerns.
1. Has any effort been put into porting Apache-ant to compile against
GCJ? As OOo depends on ant, which in turn depends on Sun JDK/JRE, OOo
would indirectly no longer be "free".
2. Another problem when attempting to use the java-gcj-compat package
wrapper scripts, below is the output from running javac with no arguments:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.Main not found in
gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.4.2-gcj-1.4.2.0/lib/tools.jar],
parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}}
