about tools.jar and jpeg replacements

[Albert Cardona]

Tom,

Thanks for the input. I will see what can I do with java-gcj-compat
As for the jpeg, what ImageJ uses now is sun's library ( import 
com.sun.image.codec.jpeg.* ).

I got ImageJ to compile with very little make up, but it crashes on me. I'm 
trying to generate a linked executable but I can't: the documentation at 
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/java/gdb.html is wrong, or I'm missing 
something.

First, it's '-o=imagej.o' and not '-o imagej.o' (which results in "unknown 
file").

But then I get the message: "linker input file unused because linking not 
done".

My system is kubuntu 5.10 powerpc.

I don't get it. The trivial example provided in the webpage doesn't help as to 
how to compile a multiple package application. I managed to do so like this, 
which is crude:

$ /usr/bin/gcj-wrapper-4.0 -g -d build ij/*java ij/gui/*java ij/io/*java 
ij/macro/*java ij/measure/*java ij/plugin/*java ij/plugin/filter/*java 
ij/plugin/frame/*java ij/process/*java ij/text/*java ij/util/*java

and then to package it

$ usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/jar cvfm ij.jar MANIFEST.MF -C build/ ij

and run it 

$ /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java -jar ij.jar

and soon it crashes, when pushing 'ok' at the dialog to create a new image:

** ERROR **: 
file ../../../src/libjava/jni/gtk-peer/gnu_java_awt_peer_gtk_GtkImage.c: line 
572 (createRawData): assertion failed: (data_fid != 0)
aborting...


I would like to run it through the GDB, therefore the need to generate an .o 
file.

Could anyone help on that? Thanks for any hints.

Albert
