Now I can compile it! All the gcc-2.95.2 stuff is installed in
/usr/opt/gcc-2.95.2.
So I use
1) '../configure --enable-threads=posix --enable-gc=boehm
--prefix=/usr/opt/gcc-2.95.2'
2) make
3) make install
Is this ok?
Now calling gcj with the test file still results in the same error
messages.
'../configure --help' did not give any explanation about enable-threads
or enable-gc.
What does this mean? Which alternatives do I have?
