Here's an update,

Under Linux I can compile fairly automatically (using configure etc):

All the native stuff.
Most of the Java stuff.

What's needed to make this work:
Japhar
Sun's JDK (for Japhar to have classes.jar you'd need this)
Guile (the testsuite)

On the Java side of things the 'make' is going to fail once it gets to
compiling that stuff.  To get as much as possible compiled I recommend
using the '-i' and '-k' options for GNU make which should make it
retry to do whatever fails and keep going.  You can 'cd' into the
'lib' directory to run this specific command after running make from
the top level directory.  This is all because I don't think JavaDeps
is creating an accurate dependency file.  I've not checked Kiev's
dependency generation abilities but if it has something similar to "gcc
-MM" that would be very cool.  Btw, that 'make -i -k' process will
continue forever until Classpath compiles, if it all compiles.  :)

Japhar complains while compiling of a whole lot of underflow crap.
Sun's JDK doesn't seem to spray this particular error.  Compiling the
Java files might be a helpful 'testcase' for the Japhar folks.

There is a --enable-maintainer-build flag for configure (which I've
not even tested yet, but it should work) to let those of you wanting
to recompute the .deps file with JavaDeps go to it, but it isn't
needed for most people.

Good luck,
Brian
