38 <para>
39 See the introduction to the Java language and system at
40 <xref linkend="java"/>. The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) contains
41 a Java compiler to native code. Together with the
42 <application>ecj</application> Java compiler from Eclipse (to bytecode),
43 it provides a way to build an acceptable JVM from source. However, since
44 the release of <application>OpenJDK</application>, the development
45 of GCC-Java has almost stopped, and the built JVM is an old version,
46 which cannot be used for building <xref linkend="openjdk"/>.

53 Using the instructions on this page will have the effect that
54 the C and C++ compiler and libraries will be reinstalled, overwriting
55 the ones on your system. This may lead to some issues. Please read the

189 the <application>GCC</application> part of the testsuite will run more
190 tests than in LFS. Some of those will report FAIL and others XPASS

230 The first two <command>sed</command> commands prevent the

235
236 <para>
237 The next two <command>sed</command> commands implement upstream fixes
238 to the <application>GCC Java</application> compiler and tests.
239 </para>
240
241 <para>
242 <command>mkdir build; cd build</command>: The
243 <application>GCC</application> documentation recommends
244 building the package in a dedicated build directory.
245 </para>
246
247 <para>
248 <parameter>--disable-multilib</parameter>: This parameter ensures
249 that files are created for the specific architecture of your computer.
250 </para>
251
252 <para>
253 <parameter>--with-system-zlib</parameter>: Uses the system
254 <application>zlib</application> instead of the bundled one.
255 </para>
256
257 <para>
258 <parameter>--disable-bootstrap</parameter>: Prevents the C and C++
259 compilers to recompile themselves. You should use this switch only
260 if the installed C and C++ compilers are the same version as the
261 ones you install.
262 </para>
263
264 <para>
265 <parameter>--enable-java-home</parameter>: Creates a directory
266 layout similar to that of a JVM.
267 </para>
268
269 <para>
270 <parameter>--with-jvm-root-dir=/opt/gcj</parameter>: Installs
271 the JVM in the specified location.

273
274 <para>
275 <parameter>--with-antlr-jar=...</parameter>: Specifies the location of
276 <application>ANTLR</application>, which is needed to build
277 <command>gjdoc</command>. Remove if you have not downloaded antlr.
278 </para>
279
280 <para>
281 <parameter>--enable-languages=java</parameter>:
282 This command identifies which language to build. Note it is unavoidable
283 that the <application>C</application> and <application>C++</application>
284 compilers be built too.
285 </para>
286
287 <para>
288 <option>--enable-java-awt=gtk</option>: Allows to build the Java AWT
289 <application>GTK+2</application> peer. Needed to have a fully functional
290 JVM.

295 tests from running out of stack space.

300 without stopping if any errors are encountered.

303 <para>
304 <command>../contrib/test_summary</command>: This
305 command will produce a summary of the test suite results. You can append
306 <command>| grep -A7 Summ</command> to the command to produce an even more
307 condensed version of the summary. You may also wish to redirect the output
308 to a file for review and comparison later on.

312 <command>chown -v -R root:root
313 /usr/lib/gcc/*linux-gnu/...</command>:
314 If the package is built by a user other than root, the ownership of the
315 installed <filename class="directory">include</filename> directory (and
316 its content) will be incorrect. This command changes the ownership to
317 the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user and group.

321 <command>gcj -o ecj ...</command>: compiles the eclipse compiler to
