Hi, I have been trying to compile libjava (gcc 3.4.6) separately and use this library as an alternative bootclasspath. However, I haven't been able to get libjava to compile out of the gcc tree. gcc itself builds fine (its the same gcc installed on the system). I understand that libjava has quite a few dependencies. I am also building libjava and its dependencies in a separate build directory. I have the following setup: ~/tmp/gcc-3.4.6/ contains the source tree, ~/tmp/build/ is where I build all the stuff. ~/tmp/install/ where the installs happen. I was able to successfully build the sub-components boehm-gc fastjar libffi libiberty and zlib in ~/tmp/build/<sub-component> by doing the following for each of these: cd ~/tmp/build/<sub-component> ../gcc-3.4.6/<sub-component>/configure --prefix=/home/ritesh/tmp/install make However, when I do the same (hopefully not having any further dependencies) for libjava I am hit by the following error: .... Making all in gcj make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/gcj' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/gcj' Making all in include make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/include' make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/include' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava' /bin/sh ./libtool --tag=GCJ --mode=link gcj -B/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/ -L/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava -ffloat-store -g -O2 -o jv-convert --main= gnu.gcj.convert.Convert -rpath /home/ritesh/tmp/install/lib -shared-libgcc -L/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/.libs libgcj.la gcj -B/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/ -ffloat-store -g -O2 -o .libs/jv-convert --main= gnu.gcj.convert.Convert -shared-libgcc -L/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava -L/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava/.libs ./.libs/libgcj.so -lpthread -ldl -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6 -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../.. /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/libstdc++.so -lm -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin -L/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib -lgcc_s -lc -lm -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc_s -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/home/ritesh/tmp/install/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6 ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `deflate' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `inflate' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `deflateSetDictionary' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `deflateInit2_' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `inflateReset' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `deflateReset' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `deflateParams' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `inflateSetDictionary' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `inflateEnd' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `inflateInit2_' ./.libs/libgcj.so: undefined reference to `deflateEnd' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [jv-convert] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ritesh/tmp/build/libjava' make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 It looks like the last gcj invocation couldn't find zlib. However, I already have zlib build in ~/tmp/build/zlib before this. Can somebody tell me what am I doing wrong? Also, any pointers on compiling libjava separately and using it as bootclasspath will be appreciated. Thanks, Ritesh
