GCJ The GNU Compiler for the Java

[Dingo]

Woof Woof! (I'm baack!)

since pdftk (version 1.43) with bugfixes and two new features is just out

http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/pdftk-version-history/

I'm trying to build for puppy 3.01 and 4 series

I need GCJ
http://gcc.gnu.org/java/
http://www.pdflabs.com/docs/build-pdftk/

is, this already packaged?

thanks for any help

I had it working on p412, after downloading it already compiled. I'll need to hunt around to locate where I got it from.

meanwhile another pdftk version has been released (1.44) with new exciting features

gjc-4.4.4 is needed
- ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gcc/releases/gcc-4.4.4

I tried to build from source but it returns several errors about missing dependencies

it is a pity that we cannot compile pdftk in puppy linux

Hello Dingo,

I looked up the gcj I did in spring. Unfortunatly this is not the required version 4.4.4 just 4.2.2 in "alpha" quality, I had not removed any stuff and no Compile Optimisations, so the pet is huge (70 MB).

Download gcj-422-all-i486.pet

Cookbook (based on http://gcc.gnu.org/java/build-snapshot.html):
I made this on Puppy 431with devx_431.sfs.

Code: Select all

# go to build partition
cd /mnt/home
# download complete source to directory /mnt/home/gcc422
svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/tags/gcc_4_2_2_release gcc422
# make a build directory
mkdir gcj-422
cd gcj-422
mkdir build
cd build
# run configure script
../../gcc422/configure --enable-threads=posix --prefix=/usr  --enable-shared --enable-languages=java
# make (Important: additional bootstrap step!!!)
make bootstrap   #  make BOOT_CFLAGS='-O' bootstrap  would be without debugging info 
make
# create the pet package -  no dev, doc and lang removed
new2dir make install

maybe it helps with building gcj4.4.4
