Right. I concluded the same, so I uploaded my build to 'experimental' without libsvn-java. It should work in sid and lenny, but I didn't want to upload something to sid when I knew it was unsuitable for release. [Alexander Hvostov] > What exactly is the problem?

Debian's default Java build environment, at least on most platforms, takes 'javac' from ecj (the Eclipse Java compiler from Sun) and 'javah' from gcj (from gcc). The libsvn-java build process calls javah to generate some C++ header files to be used in the JNI. But gcj javah does not produce all the same filenames that Sun's javah produces. For example, given the source file: org/tigris/subversion/javahl/ConflictDescriptor.java Sun javac produces: org/tigris/subversion/javahl/ConflictDescriptor.class and from that, Sun javah produces: org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor.h org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor_Action.h org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor_Kind.h org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor_Reason.h However, the ecj version of javac produces four separate files, because there are some nested classes: org/tigris/subversion/javahl/ConflictDescriptor.class org/tigris/subversion/javahl/ConflictDescriptor$Action.class org/tigris/subversion/javahl/ConflictDescriptor$Kind.class org/tigris/subversion/javahl/ConflictDescriptor$Reason.class and if you run javah from gcj on those: org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor.h org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor$Action.h org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor$Kind.h org_tigris_subversion_javahl_ConflictDescriptor$Reason.h So, I have to work through the build scripts and source code to figure out how to reconcile this mess. And once I've done that, I still don't know if that is the only problem with the Java bindings. -- Peter Samuelson | org-tld!p12n!peter | http://p12n.org/
