Hello there!!!

I'm trying to compile and run a program in Java, but I cannot get the handle of it. In windows, to compile Java code, I call, for example, javac Prog.java and it compiles. To test and run this application, I simple type java Prog.

I cannot get it to work under Linux. I've tried to compile it with:

gcj -c Prog.java

I've also tried -S, -E and a hole lot more. It does, compiles the program perfectly, but I cannot run the program by simply typing java Prog, because the Prog.class was not created as javac does.
however, I've tried to run a compiled program (in windows). In this directory I have Prog.java and Prog.class. Typing:

java Prog

runs the program fine. JSDK is installed fine, since when I type java it returns the version info. I've J2SDK1.4 installed, and the gcj package as well. I'm running Slackware 9.0, with defaults gcc and gcj if that's of any help.

Any ideas how to compile and run a program under Linux, or at least, create a .class for me to run my projects?.

Thanks in advance for any help


P.S: I cannot find my javac under Linux :S

lol, so simple that it made me feel stupid...

gcj -C Prog.java

will do it. I still wonder where my javac is anyway

You can download and install the J2SE SDK from Sun's web site if you want javac, etc.

Thanks eric.r.turner . I've installed the j2sdk from sun's homepage, but I think something went wrong. In Windows, the directory to javac is <where you installed java like this java\bin\javac). Or it either has a different path for Linux or something went bad during the install process. I will try to reinstall it later again if needed. So far, gcj is doing a great job
