Newbie: GCJ for ARM

Thu Nov 27 11:00:00 GMT 2003

Hello
I'm student in coputer science. I'm on a project for using GCJ to
compile for ARM. I have a specific ARM test board with a nice 16x2-digit
LCD and a 16-key keypad. My goal is to have a simple HelloWorld on
System.out showing up on the LCD (and later on having the keypad as
System.in).
Currently I compile with GNUDE (*) on WinXP.
 From what I know at the moment, the only solution for my problem is to
recompile the whole GCJ to have my own code for System.in and
System.out.
My questions:
- Is there an easier way to achieve this goal?
- Has someone out there already tried to do something like this?
- Is there an easy way to recompile the arm-elf x-compiler on Cygwin?
 (I always get very strange errors.)
Thanks in advance for your answers :-)
