How to avoid the problem? > Note: `$gcj -C HelloWoldApp.java' is Ok and generates HelloWorldApp.class. You need to specify to gcj what it should do, obviously there is no useful default setting. If you specify `-C' the manpage says: -C This option is used to tell gcj to generate bytecode (.class files) rather than object code. I would expect that you get an error like this without specifying anything: $ gcj Foo.java /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.1/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o)(.text+0x7a): undefined reference to `_WinMain AT 16' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Anyway, if you want to build an executable, you say s.th. like this: $ gcj --main=Foo -o Foo Foo.java and to get bytecode you say: $ gcj -C Foo.java Gerrit -- =^..^= http://nyckelpiga.de/donate.html -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
