Ok,

here then is another bunch of notes/problems/patches:

==========================================================================
make check failed if you configure jikes as Java compiler. Failed 
operation was

CLASSPATH=..:. jikes -g ./SimpleB.java -d .

reason: CLASSPATH must explicitly include Java runtime library rt.jar

suggestion: improve configure.in to locate Java runtime library and
change the Makefile.am's corrspondingly

The attached patch compile-with-jikes should solve this.
The patch includes also fix for typo in configure.in . Was:

AC_ARG_WITH(sax2,
[ --with-sax2 Assume AWT is available])

==========================================================================
Bug in NumberCompare

(let((a <int> 1))
(= 1 a))

(Sorry, I'm not shure whether I already reported it earlier).

see the bug-in-NumberCompare patch
==========================================================================
Minor problem: *.java source files in testsuite/ subdir have empty
package. This makes it harder to compile kawa with such instruments as 
Borland JBuilder

Solution: either move all the kawa sources to subdirectory named say 
src/ , so we can use it as
reliable source base, or use package name testsuite for all Java files 
it testsuite directory.

==========================================================================
Minor problem making documentation: version.texi file is not auto-generated

Making all in doc
make[1]: ???? ? ??????? `/jet/wowa/build/kawa_patched/doc'
/bin/sh /jet/wowa/build/kawa_patched/missing --run makeinfo -I . \
-o kawa.info `test -f 'kawa.texi' || echo './'`kawa.texi
kawa.texi:11: @include `version.texi': No such file or directory.
==========================================================================
Minor problem:
configuration: Makefiles's are not rebuilt automatically when
Makefile.am changes as it should be
==========================================================================
make check results in an error:

FAIL: "declare namespace File='class:java.io.File'
define function make-file ($x) {File:new($x)}
define function parent ($x) {java.io.File:getParent($x)}
parent(make-file('dir/mine.txt'))" evaluated to "*** syntax error - 
<string>:2:33: warning - no definitely applicable method `<init>' in 
java.io.File" but expected "dir"


reason: failure to compile File:new() procedure
==========================================================================

Regards,
Vladimir
