- NAME
- guavac - a free Java compiler
-
- guavad - guavac's disassembler
-
- SYNOPSIS
- guavac [ -version ] [ -classpath directory ] [ -d output-
- directory ] [ -M ] filenames
-
- guavad filename
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Guavac is a compiler for the Java (TM) programming lan-
- guage distributed under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE.
- You should feel free to use, copy and modify it, based on
- the terms in the COPYING file included in this distribu-
- tion. We are distributing guavac free of charge in the
- hopes that other people will find it useful and possibly
- enhance its utility in turn.
-
- All materials needed to compile a HotJava(TM) or
- Netscape(TM) compliant applet are included in the guavac
- distribution. No proprietary code from Sun is needed, so
- other tool writers should feel free to include guavac in
- their systems.
-
- Guavac is written in C++ to compile on any Unix system.
- This has been tested under Solaris 2.x, SunOS 4.x, Iris
- 5.3, HP/UX 9, and Linux 1.x using GNU's gcc-2.7.2,
- libg++-2.7.1 and binutils-2.6, but other operating systems
- should work without any major changes.
-
- Guavac is not meant to be the definite GNU Java compiler.
- There's a different project in the works at Cygnus, that
- aims at building a GNU CC front-end for Java.
-
- OPTIONS
- Guavac recognizes the following options.
-
- -classpath directory
- Set the directory. It maybe contains either the
- stub classes as distributed with guavac in the
- classes.zip file. Or, even better, the directory
- where the classes of Sun's Java Development Kit, or
- JDK for short, reside.
-
- -d directory
- Set the output directory which otherwise defaults
- to the current working directory.
-
- -M Prints out dependencies for compiled files instead
- of compiling.

-
-
- -version
- Prints out the current version of guavac.
-
- Refer to the BUGS section below on philosophical implica-
- tions of any collection of OPTIONS.
-
- ENVIRONMENT
- Guavac recognizes the CLASSPATH environment variable, con-
- taining a colon separated list of directories where to
- look for compiled Java classes; much like the standard
- PATH variable used to find executables. The setting of
- CLASSPATH may be overriden with the -classpath option.
-
- BUGS
- At present, after 11 official releases, guavac 0.2.5 is
- relatively stable. However, incompatibilities arise
- between guavac and Sun's offerings, most of which are
- fixed shortly after discovery.
