Hello, I saw the following error http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/1999-q2/msg00453.html and get the same one for a simple HelloWorld program using gcj 2.96 + ant on RH7.3. Here are the details: class HelloWorld { public static void main (String args[]) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } [hst@lxshare0313 ant]$ less build.xml <?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="test" default="compile" basedir="."> <property name="src" value="."/> <property name="build" value="build"/> <target name="init"> <mkdir dir="${build}"/> </target> <target name="compile" depends="init"> <!-- Compile the java code --> <javac srcdir="${src}" destdir="${build}"/> </target> </project> [hst@lxshare0313 ant]$ ant -Dbuild.compiler=gcj -v Apache Ant version 1.5 compiled on July 9 2002 Buildfile: build.xml Detected Java version: 1.4 in: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre Detected OS: Linux parsing buildfile build.xml with URI = file:/home/hst/java/ant/build.xml Project base dir set to: /home/hst/java/ant Build sequence for target `compile' is [init, compile] Complete build sequence is [init, compile] init: compile: [javac] build.xml skipped - don't know how to handle it [javac] build/HelloWorld.class skipped - don't know how to handle it [javac] src/HelloWorld.java added as /home/hst/java/ant/build/src/HelloWorld.class doesn't exist.
