I would like to be able to figure out whether Classpath was compiled
with --enable-portable-native-sync or not. There have been times (and
will be again soon) when Jikes RVM has required this option in order
to run some kinds of graphical apps properly.
We currently usually automatically download and build Classpath for
the user. The biggest reason for this (so I'm told) is that, in the
past, some users had run into problems because they hadn't configured
Classpath properly.
It would be good for the VM to be able to confirm that an
already-build Classpath installation was configured with the
appropriate options.
I was thinking that the easiest way to do this would be to add a
boolean variable to the Configuration class.
Besides --enable-portable-native-sync, the other config flags whose
values I'd want to check are:
--enable-jni
--enable-load-library
and possibly
--enable-gtk-peer
Are there any thoughts on the best way to do this?
