#16043: gcc-4.4@20080718_0 No Java support -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: macports@tomorrowenterprises.com | Owner: mww@macports.org Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Bugs Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: java gcj gcc -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Changes (by mww@macports.org): * status: new => assigned Comment: The port clearly states: ''The GNU compiler collection, including front ends for C, C++, Objective-C and Objective-C++. This is a prerelease BETA version and does not have all available language front ends enabled.'' The point is, that the Java stuff tends to[[BR]] * fail often to compile in the beta[[BR]] * take looooong time to build Therefore I've omitted it from the beta (I'm only comitting snapshots that compile here on my machine, on {{{10.5/x86}}}). We could bring in Java support but then the updates will get sparse (as snapshots often fail to build Java); as I'm not into {{{gcj}}} perhaps someone else should then take over maintainership.[[BR]] Plan B would be a {{{java}}} variant (like the gfortran variant) that enables Java -- of course without guarantee to build (for the beta). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16043#comment:3> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
