GCJ appears to have a problem with statement 'import <package>.*'
in case all files to be imporated are given as compilation
arguments. The very same works fine using SUN's javac compiler.
{* Upps, how can I upload something here? Anyway, the whole sub-
ject has been investigated by Tom ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and a small
demo project has been sent. *}
Here's a literal description of the demo project: This
are the project files:
$ tar zxvf xxx.tgz
xxx/
xxx/impl/
xxx/impl/Echo.java
xxx/hello.java
This is the file's contents:
================ hello.java =============================
package greeting;
import greeting.impl.*;
public class hello {
static Echo myecho;
}
================ Echo.java ==============================
package greeting.impl;
public class Echo {}
========================================================
Now I'm going to compile the whole package in one shot:
$ cd xxx
javac -d . -C hello.java impl/Echo.java # ok
=>> Works fine!
Remove files created by 'javac':
$ rm -rf greeting
Try to compile the very same using gcj:
$ gcj -d . -C hello.java impl/Echo.java
hello.java:3: error: Can't find default package `greeting.impl'. \
Check the CLASSPATH environment variable and the access to the archives
1 error
The problem appears to be related to
import hello.impl.*;
in hello.java. When changing to read
import hello.impl.Echo ;
compilation using gcj works fine. Another option is to
rename directory "xxx" into "greeting" and to use -I ..,
ie.
$ cd ..
$ mv xxx greeting
$ cd greeting
$ gcj -d . -I .. -C hello.java impl/Echo.java
