First of all, there is no need to go to such lengths removing gcj afterwards. |
32 |
It's not going to hurt to leave it on. |
33 |
|
34 |
Also, the build depends on jdk >= 1.5 already, so CACAO or JamVM would |
35 |
do the job fine. But you'd have similar bootstrap issues, because these |
36 |
require GNU Classpath and that requires ecj, etc. |
37 |
|
38 |
Building a Java environment can be a nightmare to be honest :) |
39 |
I guess the only non-GCJ way would be to use Jikes, then an older Classpath |
40 |
to get ecj working, then build the new ones. |
