Hi Luciano, >when I compile a Java application on Windows with GCJ, that app can't deal >with files whose names contain accented chars. For example, I can open "city.jpg", >but not "città .jpg". The java.io.File constructor fails and the application >exits. >>Know any solution or workaround? This is a known issue. João has solved this problem, but I can't find his original post on java-patches. Here is what is left of the thread: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2003-q3/threads.html#00622 My offer to make an unofficial 3.4 build if João gives me a patch which applies to 3.4 still stands. -- Mohan http://www.thisiscool.com/ http://www.animalsong.org/
