can't compile cvs/snapshot gcj for a week

Fri Aug 25 17:59:00 GMT 2000

Hello everyone,
I'm not sure quite where to send this question so please re-direct me so
I can figure out where to submit questions and/or bug reports.
I've been trying for a week to compile gcc/gcj/libgcj/gnome-gcj. To do the
last, I need a recent libgcj but the daily snapshots and cvs checkouts
I have been doing since last weekend all choke. Today's was a good ways
into the compile at:
c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../../libgcj/libjava -I./include
-I../../../libgcj/libjava -Iinclude -I../../../libgcj/libjava/include
-I../../../libgcj/libjava/../boehm-gc -I./../boehm-gc -DLINUX_THREADS=1
-D_REENTRANT=1 -DSILENT=1 -DNO_SIGNALS=1 -DNO_DEBUGGING=1 -DJAVA_FINALIZATION=1
-I../../../libgcj/libjava/libltdl -I./libltdl

-I../../../libgcj/libjava/../libffi/include -I../libffi/include -fno-rtti

This looks like the discussion on this list in the past few days but I don't
know if this is correct. Is there a recent snapshot that is know to build? If
so I would like to get access to it so I could compile gnome-gcj against
it and try to get going. Also since this is my first time with this code,
I don't know if this is a well understood error or if you really want the
bug report the error asks for. Please let me know.
Thanks for any information.
