GCJ Compiler Please

GCJ Objective Java Compiler.

I find it the most pain in the arse program to ever compile and it takes several hours.

What do you guys think?

mike_93 · 2009-04-02 17:13:42

If it was in the AUR (which is what this sub-section of the forum is for, correct me if I'm wrong) then wouldn't the AUR make you compile it anyway?

Stefan Husmann · 2009-04-02 17:56:38

Well, true, but the AUR is the first hurdle for a package to get into the repos.

Allan · 2009-04-03 00:10:56

Umm....

Can't find it in the extra repo?!

Allan · 2009-07-15 13:57:59

Now it is in the AUR.

pdftk builds fine with the tarball linked in one of the last comments on AUR.

Why gcc-gcj has been moved in the AUR? It seems crazy that installing a simple application like pdftk requires hours because we first need to compile a compilator. What's wrong with a binary package for gcc-gcj?

Allan · 2011-01-02 23:11:12

As with everything in Arch, there is no binary package because no developer or TU chooses to package one. I consider gcj a dead project and won't be building it with the main gcc packages.

I used to have the exact same opinion, but if you think about a bit more carefully pdftk seems like it's the only actually important application (I really like it as well) that requires gcj. And even for that a good soul has made a binary-only PKGBUILD.
