Not in my HACKING document ;) There is says:

For building the JNI native libraries, the following are required.

        - GTK+ 2.x.x
        - libart_lgpl 2.1.0
        - gdk-pixbuf (Only needed if you want to compile the native 
library)

But as I don't want to build the JNI libraries, I figured I wouldn't 
need it ;)

Anyway, thanks, I'll fetch them just for the macros. Any idea where the 
macros hide in those packages?

Stupid question no 2: why aren't those macros in the CVS archive? They 
are not generated files, as far as I can tell. Installing gtk2, glib2 
and libart just to be able to compile Classpath's java classes with 
jikes seems like a bit of overkill ;)
