Hi Dalibor,

Hi Kiyo,

The '--with-gjdoc' option is good to specify whether we want to include
gjdoc compiled class into rt.jar or not. But I'm afraid whether this is
the way to go when one specifies '--with-rt-jar' option. Semantically,
these two options may have orthogonal meaning, and the later may be used
to specify "please don't invoke kjc (or jikes) while building kaffe-bin".

Is my understanding correct?

Mostly ;)

gjdoc classes reside in tools/gjdoc. They end up in their own gjdoc.jar. --with-rt-jar is there to help cross-compiling & bootstrapping. --with-gjdoc is there because not everyone may need a javadoc implementation. For example, debian ships gjdoc as a its own package.

gjdoc needs libxmlj. That library is currently not built by default, so gjdoc should not be built by default either. So cleaning that up was a part of the larger gmp-math & awt-implemenations, to only build the java libraries that are needed.

I could change it to --enable-gjdoc, if that would make it clearer.
