I loaded up another tarball to the ftp site. It is at: ftp://ftp.classpath.org/pub/classpath/classpath-0.00pre2.tar.gz On Brian's suggestion I changed the numbering scheme a bit to give us room for lots of development releases. I figure we can go 0.00, 0.01, etc like Japhar did. The --enable-developer-mode and --enable-maintainer-mode flags now work correctly. But there is a problem. I am unable to generate dependency information that works. Early in the build process a massive compile line bombs with "gnu.java.lang.* not found in import". If you let this go ahead and finish the classes it can compile, then type make again, everything compiles fine. I have been unable to figure out why the generated dependency info seems to be wrong. The .deps file in the tarball hasn't been checked into CVS because I am concerned it is wrong. Of course the one in CVS doesn't work either.... If anyone could look into this and figure out the problem I would appreciate it as I've had no luck to date and I am going to bed. Also, if a couple of you would give this a try like the last one, I'd appreciate it. Also I have another request. If you check in a new Java source file, please be sure to add it either to the EXTRA_DIST line in the Makefile.am for that directory and/or to the standard.omit file in lib. If you do not do that, dependency information gets computed for the file, but it is not included in the tarball, leading to major build failures. I ran into this as you can probably guess. -- Aaron M. Renn ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) http://www.urbanophile.com/arenn/
