[Classpathx-discuss] Fail to build gnujaxp from sources

[Arnaud Vandyck]

Hi all, Hi Nick,

I have two bugs in the Debian  BTS[1] that I think are upstream bugs, so
I forwarded them to the list. If you want, I can look at those this week
but I  think you are the best  person to correct something  in the build
system! 

Cheers
