problem in compiling libgcj 2.95.1

Thu May 25 04:53:00 GMT 2000

Hi,
I tried to compile the libgcj version 2.95.1 (libgcj-2.95.1.tar.gz -
Isn't this the latest stable version) taken from sourceware.cygnus.com
ftp site. The following are the steps i followed:
../libgcj-2.95.1/configure --prefix=<dir> --enable-threads=posix
make
where <dir> is the Target directory where i succesfully installed gcc
2.95.1 (the compilation of gcc gave no problems, sources from
gcc-core-2.95.1.tar.gz and gcc-java-2.95.1.tar.gz). During the make
phase i got the following error after some time:
cc1plus: Invalid option `-fpermissive'
In file included from ../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava/prims.cc:25:
java/lang/Runtime.h:42: warning: `class ::java::lang::Runtime' only

In file included from ../../../libgcj-2.95.1/libjava/prims.cc:38:

make[2]: *** [prims.lo] Error 1

make[1]: Leaving directory
`/home/guest/gcj/GCJ/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libjava'
make: *** [all-target-libjava] Error 2
Am i doing something wrong? Since even the versions of gcc and libgcj
match why am i getting this error?
sincerely
