RE: Fwd: gcj can not import packages

OK, then I'm going to fork it to github and someday gcj is going to overtak=
e gcc and g++. Haha. :-) Actually, I'll be lucky if I can get it to compile=
. My previous attempts have all failed. I can get a working gcc and g++, bu=
t gcj never succeeds for me. It takes several days to get through just one =
iteration of the preliminary gcc build on my PowerBook G4 before it fails. =
I'd probably be better off to run a cross compile on my i5 Fedora machine t=
o get a version for my PowerBook G4. I could probably pull the old Fedora s=
ource rpm as a starting point to get the right configuration parameters. I =
think it's the missing gcj dependencies that always cause the failures. I'v=
e never gotten a successful compile of gcj on Windows either. I've tried us=
ing other people's configure parameters, but they're always for a different=
 version of gcc/gcj than what I'm trying to compile and they don't work.

Well, yeah, but it'd take a lot of work to maintain GCJ.  And unmaintained =
