Re: java, Swarm, JDK1.2.2, Solaris 8 and static vs shared libraries

[Gary Polhill]

So would you suggest I installl the gcc binaries off the CD-ROM (I have an 
atypical install locatiion -- will that be OK?), get the latest version of 
Swarm from the ftp site and compile that having configured with --enable-shared?

The GCC binaries we distribute for Solaris 7 are configured to use GNU
binutils.  This is so that shared libraries work right with Objective C.
Swarm for Java definitely won't work unless you have working shared libraries.
FYI, I'm using Solaris 8 at work with the current snapshot..
