Some questions

   To be honest I always find working on/with (lib)gcj 
   a bit intimidating since the build process alone takes 
   up 45 minutes on my machine (yes I should buy something 
   faster if I have the money :) And coming from a java 
   background (and some Haskell and other modern 
   functional/logic languages) the combination of 
   C/C++/automake/libtool etc is really confusing.

I agree that it is intimidating.

I am trying to write a small article-like document every time I find
out something (even things like how to build GCJ).

A collection of these arricles will be published on a website I'm
setting up for GNU techical info. I hope eventually to cover
everything, including debugging.

If you find something out that you think might be useful to other GCJ
newbies then drop me a quick mail about it and I'll try and turn the
info into an article (alternately write me an article!).


I'll be ready to publish the website (called: GNU Hacker) towards the
end of next month. If you want a quick look at some of the incomplete
stuff that is there already then you can check out:

that's a very slow link and a very slow machine and a very Paperclips
(lots of debugging turned on) web server. The webserver might be down
a lot because it's just my test system.
