What is required to build/install/run? - -GNU Classpath requires a working GNU build environment and a byte code -compiler such as jikes, gcj or kjc. When creating native code you will -also need a working C compiler and up to date Gnome development -libraries (gtk+, libart and gdk-pixbuf). More information on the -precise version numbers for the tools and libraries can be found in -the INSTALL file. - -A list of virtual machines and compilers known to work with GNU -Classpath can be found at our website: -http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/stories.htm - -2). What platforms are supported? - -GNU/Linux is the only platform that has been tested. -We plan to eventually support many others. - -3). Who should use this software? - -Although GNU Classpath is already capable of supporting many -applications written in the java programming language, this is a -development release. As such, there are still some unfinished -components, and some problems are to be expected. You should install it -if you are interested in GNU Classpath development or reporting bugs. -We appreciate both. - -A good overview of the current status can be found on the GNU Classpath -at FOSDEM'04 page which describes the last GNU Classpath hacker meeting. -It includes reports and presentations on the current status and future -plans: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/events/fosdem04.html - -4).
