Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] Updated: gcc 3.3.3-1, gcc-mingw-20030911-2 missing java headers

[Jim Kleckner <jek-cygwin at kleckner dot net>]

Is it possible the java code simply wasn't configured to build?
All of the java headers are missing.

Here are the things I looked at:

A quick look at:
 http://www.cygwin.com/packages/gcc/gcc-3.2-3
shows usr/include/java/... are installed but
 http://www.cygwin.com/packages/gcc/gcc-3.3.1-2
shows none of that.  Although it does include usr/bin/gcj.exe
which suggests it was configured to build.
It also suggests that I have the right packages
unless some breakup of gcc has put those files elsewhere.
Haven't seen anything on that and searching cygwin.com
packages doesn't reveal anything.

Checking the change logs for gcc:
 http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-3.3/changes.html
Doesn't indicate any issues with Java.

Extracting the source of both versions and comparing
some of the configure files doesn't reveal any disabling
of gcj and java.

I tried uncompressing, configuring, and "make" of gcc.
Recompiling and installing 3.3.1-1 fails to install the headers.
Subsequent uncompress, configure, recompile of 3.2-3 failed
to compiler.

Checking the gcc java list
 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/
doesn't reveal (to me) the answer.

Gerrit, do you know since you have the most relevant
posts on the gcc/java list?


Reverting to the previous install works.

Thanks for any pointers.

Jim
