Hi Thomas, I can confirm that jikes from CVS is not able anymore to compile GNU Classpath. But both jikes 1.18 and 1.19 are (1.19 does produce lots and lots of warnings though).
It seems that it started failing somewhere between jikes CVS from 5 and 8 weeks ago. But I haven't had time to really look into it. It seems that it is a general problem when the source file arguments contain ".." in their path (and not our use of the @classes-file construct) as can be seen by the following example. $ /usr/local/jikes/bin/jikes +P -bootclasspath /usr/local/classpath/share/classpath/glibj.zip ../odonata-0.1/src/uk/co/tangency/odonata/test/Demo.java Found 1 system error: *** Semantic Error: The input file "../odonata-0.1/src/uk/co/tangency/odonata/test/Demo.java" was not found. I have CCed the jikes-dev mailinglist since they might know more about this new/buggy(?) behavior. Should ".." (or in general a path as above were the directory name is larger then the package name) be allowed in the source file name? We currently depend on that working for the GNU Classpath build. Cheers, Mark
