Hi Mark,
If you really want build of the current CVS code as if they were release builds then look at http://builder.classpath.org/dist/ those are generated by the autobuilder with make dist and so should be as good as real release snapshots and you don't need any autotools installed for using them.
Thank you many times, these seem to work :-) However configure claims that it can't find glib-2 (of course, since its an embedded platform), I configure classpath it with the following options: ./configure --disable-gtk-peer --disable-gconf-peer --enable-local-sockets --enable-escher=/home/ce/escher-0.2.3/ --enable-default-toolkit=gnu.java.awt.peer.x.XToolkit --with-jikes --prefix=/opt/jamvm143/classpath092pre Is glib-2 now needed for a default build? Sorry ... I know I start nerving :-/ lg Clemens
