IcedTea[7] (<a href="http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea" target="_blank">http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea</a>) already has a<br>
--with-project=bsd option for supporting using the BSD tree in place<br>
of the main JDK7 tree. It just needs testing. I think supporting the<br>
use of BSD as an alternate icedTea build is the better solution long<br>
term. All it really needs is someone will to try building on Mac<br>
OS/BSD and to maintain it long-term by supplying us with patches.<br>
No-one currently on the IcedTea team uses BSD or Mac OS X (AFAIK) but<br>
we're certainly open to more contributors and to supporting more<br>
platforms. I'd much prefer this to forking zero support. There are<br>
also other features such as the web plugin, web start support, etc. in<br>
IcedTea that may be useful for BSD and Mac OS X users.<br>

<br>checking for libgcj-4.3.*.jar... <br>configure: error: "A LIBGCJ jar was not found."<br><br>I thought maybe I could clear this problem by trying to compile gcj34(from MacPorts) using gcc42? The gcc 4.0.1 wouldn't do it and I saw a post<br>
on <a href="http://trac.macports.org/ticket/9730">http://trac.macports.org/ticket/9730</a> that said<br>
<br>
wontfix the <span class="searchword0">gcj34</span> port because pdftk compiles just fine on Intel and PowerPC Macs using gcc42, which has been the default for pdftk since <a class="changeset" href="http://trac.macports.org/changeset/25014" title="Use gcc42 by default now. This makes it possible to build pdftk
on Intel ...">r25014</a>. <br>
<br>
Would this help me out for Icetea7 or some other path or is this a dead end?<br><br>What tools (gcc, gcj etc) and versions would be good to start with?<br><br>Eric<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
