compiling java programs in FedoraCore1
 

Hi,

I am using Fedora Core1

How can i compile and run my java programs

Does gcc have inbuilt support for compiling java programs?
If so what is the procedure/syntax involved

What are the packages available (eg development kits) for
compiling java programs

Hi.

I'd grab the J2SE SDK from the Sun website (java.sun.con).

That will give you the Java runtime envirnoment 'java' and the Java compiler 'javac'.

gcc can be compiled to support java...see if gcj is a recognized command, if so, the 2 lines of code below will compile a Java file into executable format(not byte code).

gcj -c -g -O test.java
gcj --main=test -o test test.o

//to execute the compiled program:
./test
