[platform-swt-dev] Compiling of GCJ and SWT under MacOS X

[<cyberdeth@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi. 
 
I have downloaded gnu gcc 3.4.3 and compiled it with the following command line 
parameters : 
 
configure --prefix=/usr --enable-languages=c,c++,java,f77,objc 
--enable-threads=posix --enable-shared 
 
make bootstrap 
 
make install 
 
Now this compiles everything fine under MacOS X.3 using the gcc compiler that 
comes with the Developer Tools ie. gcc 3.3 
 
When I compile a Hello World program using gcj, like so : 
 
gcj Test.java -o Test --classpath /usr/share/java/libgcjxxx.jar:$CLASSPATH 
--main=Test -lgcj 
 
Then it compiles fine and the output from the program is as expected. 
 
But. When I try to link against the libswt-carbon-xxxx.jnilib all hell breaks loose. I 
have tried to make a symlink from *.jnilib to *.dylib and even to .a. When I do a file 
on the jnilib it says it's a bundle. 
 
I have tried to copy the jnilib files 
into /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Libraries and linking the 
program as follows. 
 
gcj Test.java -o Test --classpath /usr/share/java/libgcjxxx.jar:$CLASSPATH 
--main=Test -lgcj -framework JavaVM 
 
which fails. 
 
When I do an ld style  
 
ld Test.o -o Test -lgcj -framework JavaVM then it gives me an error that no __main is 
found hence the --main=Test option. 
 
when doing a gcj Test.o -o Test -lgcj libswt-carbon-xxxx.jnilib it fails as well telling 
me that i can't call a static link editor using a dynamic link editor or something like 
this. And this is where I'm struggling with. 
 
I mean if I link against any other jnilib in the JavaVM framework it compiles 
correctly. Maybe the jnilibs shouldn't be bundles ??? 
 
 
My long winded questions is :  
 
1) Is my gcc configuration flags correct ? 
2) How do you compile a program natively using the swt-carbon-xxxx.jnilib's ? If 
you have a MacOS specific example could you please supply me with it. 
 
I have been struggling with it for over a week now and I'm lost.... 
 
 
PLEASE....... Help me.
