Anyone fancy a challenge?
Check out GCJ at http://sources.redhat.com/java/
It is an extention to GCC (the all-powerful Gnu C Compiler) which allows
it to compile Java into executables. It is a fussy little git, but if we
could tweak Freenet to compile with GCJ then it would make life much
easier from a deployment perspective since people would no-longer require
a JRE. I also advise you to grab the latest version of GJC from CVS.
Note that ou will also need libgcj which are the GCJ versions of the Java
API. Older versions of both of these are installed by default on RH7,
but again, you should grab the most up-to-date stuff from CVS and
compile it yourself.
