Hi
I'm depressed Java/Linux user too..
I haven't switched to SuSE 8.1 yet - luckily!!
I did a search on Javasoft and found a link to linuxfromscratch.org where some have succeded to compile JDK 1.4 from scratch with gcc.
http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/javafromscratch.txt
I'm not familiar with building RPM's, but maybe someone on the list could use the howto to make a shiny JDK 1.4 with gcc 3.2 support and distribute it??
But even if I get a working JDK I still have a possible issue with the Oracle software I use... Oracle ships their software compiled but not linked - will this become a issue with the gcc switch??
That was my bigger concern. Things like Oracle (which I use). Preston
