Newbie question...

[Simon Gornall]

I'm not sure if this is where I'm supposed to ask this - if
I'm in the wrong area, it'd be nice if someone would tell me
(nicely :-) where to go...

Could anyone shed any light on whether it's possible to get a 
threaded java program compiled under Linux as a native 
executable ?

I've searched the online stuff, but it's quite confusing as to
where I should specify which options to 'configure' (for egcs
or for libgcj for threads/garbage collection etc.)

In fact, if anyone has a "this'll work" set of configure lines
(one for egcs, one for libgcj) I'd really appreciate being told
them :-)

I configured egcs with 

configure --prefix=/opt/egcs
  --with-local-prefix=/opt/egcs
  --with-gxx-include-dir=/opt/egcs/include/g++
  --enable-shared
  --enable-threads
  --enable-languages=c++,f77,java,objc

... and libgcj with

configure --prefix=/opt/egcs
  --enable-threads=posix
  --enable-fast-character


Anyone have any ideas ?

This is all on Redhat Linux, running kernel 2.2.0, libc6 etc.

Basically the problem appears to be that the code:
           
            try
                {
                Thread.sleep(10000);
                }
            catch (Exception e)
                {
                System.err.println("Exception : " +e);
                }

   ... just falls straight through the Thread.sleep() call...

ATB,	
Simon.
