XTC & gcj/libgcj

Sat Apr 1 00:00:00 GMT 2000

Hi,
don't know if this was on the list before, but FWIW 
I tried to compile with gcj a unique software named 
XTC ( http://www.cs.umb.edu/~eugene/XTC/ ). 
It implements the X protocol in Java without any 
native code. On top of that widgets can implemented
in Java, too, which in turn might be a base for an 
alternative AWT implementation.
1. Download the XTC class files
2. Take this makefile
 http://www.informatik.fernuni-hagen.de/import/pi3/joerg/gcj/makefile.xtc
3. Start your X server with 16bpp
4. Issue these commands
 $ make -f makefile.xtc
 $ make -f makefile.xtc app
 $ ./Hello
There are other examples in the tools subdirectory.
If you've got 10 minutes of spare time, you might 
want to give it a try. If you've got more than 10
minutes you might want to convince the author of 
XTC to finish the project...
