I know you did. It is here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2002-09/msg00144.html But I just tried to get this working again and it isn't that easy if you don't know what you have to do precisely. I am unsure which classes should be included in the shared library (including to many gives libgcj failure: Duplicate class registration: gnu.java.awt.BitMaskExtent type failures) and it is unclear which GtkToolkit to use (the gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk one from Classpath or the gnu.awt.gtk one from libgcj). I still don't have something working which is why I jokingly called it Tom Tromey's secret dance. I got it working once, but I can really not remember the steps of the dance :( And seeing AWT "working" is fun because you can just see the bugs in e.g. the LayoutManagers. Graphics bugs at least give you something fun to stare at. > Maybe it would help if we checked in the peers and build machinery to > libgcj. Then people could have a semi-functional AWT. Do you think > that would inspire patches from users? Yes, I think this is a very nice idea. I cannot promise that I will hack that much on it. But currently whenever I do want to work with AWT I can get it easily "working" with Kissme (TestAWT just runs out of the box now) but then always end up fixing some Kissme VM bugs. Which is also a useful thing to do, so you might get complains from the Kissme hackers if you include a "working" AWT in libgcj :) Cheers, Mark _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
