Yeah. I'll have to get in touch with whomever is responsible for those packages and work something out. It looks like GCC 3.0 will probably compile Fred out of the box, but the GMP support probably won't get in before they release. However, I suspect that the GCJ in CVS will be the best option for a long while. > It would be preferable to create .rpms and .debs which do not rely on > Java, and that would take us one step closer to a symbiotic relationship > between Debian and Freenet that the apt-get guys are so keen on. This is why I've been asking about how to statically link stuff into a shared library (i.e., the GCJ libs). The GCC team breaks binary compatibility every two days or so... -- Mark Roberts mjr at statesmean.com _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://www.uprizer.com/mailman/listinfo/devl
