Hi,

I have successfully compiled gcc-4.3.0. I need to cross-compile java code to
binary executables which wouldn't need shared libraries. So, I used options
like 
--disable-shared
--enable-languages=java
--with-ecj-jar=/home/daniel/ecj.jar

Now, when I try to compile a java program I get the following error:

~> gcj --main=HelloWorld -o HelloWorld HelloWorld.java

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.GCCMain
   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(MainThread.java:102)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.GCCMain not found in
gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:./],
parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}}
   at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:529)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:442)
   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:377)
   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(MainThread.java:98)


I cannot figure out what to fix. I tried to move the existing ecj1 file, and
that's what I got:

~> gcj --main=HelloWorld -o HelloWorld HelloWorld.java

gcj: error trying to exec 'ecj1': execvp: Permission denied


It's understandable, I just renamed the ecj1 to something else.

Now, when I use a short bash script that is provided above, I get different
error:

~> gcj --main=HelloWorld -o HelloWorld HelloWorld.java

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.batch.GCCMain
*** Got java.lang.NullPointerException while trying to print stack trace.


Is there anything I'm doing wrong? When I built gcc with --enable-shared and
without point to the ecj.jar, I was able to compile java programs, but they
of course needed the shared libraries, which I must avoid.

Please help.
