CLASSPATH problems

Tue Jun 26 09:41:00 GMT 2001

Hi.
Platform: RedHat 7.1 on an Intel box.
Relevant RPMs:
 libgcj-2.96-24
 libgcj-devel-2.96-24
 gcc-java-2.96-85
I'm having some problems getting gcj to work with Java source files importing
classes that are on the CLASSPATH.
Case in point: My CLASSPATH is 
 .:/u/sobolev/agw/java-classes
The directory /u/sobolev/agw/java-classes contains the following file Bar.java:
 public class Bar
 {
 public static void writeln(String s)
 {
 System.out.println(s);
 }
 }
and I have run "javac Bar.java" within that directory to create Bar.class. 
The current directory contains the following file Foo.java:
 import Bar;
 public class Foo 
 {
 public static void main (String[] args) {
 Bar bar = new Bar();
 bar.writeln("Hello, world");
 } 
 }
Note the following:
 % javac Foo.java
 % java Foo
 Hello, world
However:
 % gcj -c Foo.java
 % gcj -o Foo --main=Foo Foo.o
 Foo.o: In function `Foo::main(JArray<java::lang::String *> *)':
 /u/sobolev/agw/tmp/Foo.java:6: undefined reference to `_CL_3Bar'
 /u/sobolev/agw/tmp/Foo.java:6: undefined reference to `Bar::Bar(void)'
 /u/sobolev/agw/tmp/Foo.java:7: undefined reference to
 `Bar::writeln(java::lang::String *)'
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
FWIW, I also did
 % gcj -c Bar.java
within /u/sobolev/agw/java-classes, to see whether it would make a difference.
It didn't.
BTW, if I change the first line of Foo.java to be
 import Bar.*;
I once again get
 % javac Foo.java
 % java Foo
 Hello, world
but now
 % gcj -c Foo.java
 Foo.java:1: Can't find default package `Bar'. Check the CLASSPATH
 environment variable and the access to the archives.
 1 error
(This may be a red herring.)
Any idea what I'm missing here? Thanks.
