[Gcjwebplugin-user] building the CVS code: compilation puzzles

[Joseph E. Sacco, Ph.D.]

I have two versions of gcc on my system:
* gcc-3.3.3 [installed under /usr]
* gcc-3.4.3 [installed under /usr/local/gcc/3.4.3]

This is always a dangerous situation because you can get easily get into
mischief.


case I:
--------
export gccpath=/usr/local/gcc/3.4.3
                                                                             
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc \
--with-java=$gccpath/bin/gij \
--with-javac="$gccpath/bin/gcj -C" \
--with-javah=$gccpath/bin/gcjh \
--with-jar=$gccpath/bin/jar

configure complains that it cannot find libgcj.pc, but that does not
appear to be a problem:
- The  C++ code compiles using the gcc-3.3.3 compiler. 
- The java code compiles using the gcc-3.4.3 compiler.
- all tests pass.

case II:
--------
export PATH=/usr/local/gcc-3.4.3/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-3.4.3/lib

./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc

configure again complains that it cannot find libgcj.pc, but that does
not appear to be a problem:
- Everything now compiles using the gcc-3.4.3 compilers.
- All tests pass.

case III:
---------
Starting with either case I or case II, specify the package config path:

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-3.4.3/lib/pkgconf:/usr/lib/pkgconfig

- configure no longer complains about not being able to find libgcj.pc
- Everything builds
- All tests fail.


Thoughts???
