PHP 4.0 Bug #7091 Updated: Failure to compile using --with-java and kaffe 1.0.6

ID: 7091 User Update by: mnerone@idworld.net Status: Open Bug Type: Compile Failure Description: Failure to compile using --with-java and kaffe 1.0.6 Ok, got an update for ya: javac is still not working correctly. I don't have the time to explore whether it is a problem with kaffe itself or RedHat has introduced a bug in their dist, but here it is: The *old* javac "bug" (which ext/java/Makefile was attempting to work around) seems like it was probably that it would ignore the directory path given in the argument (at least if it found a file of the same name in the CWD). Well, now it seems to put in the CWD *twice* in the output file. Specifically, "javac net/php/reflect.java" created "net/php/net/php/reflect.class". (Perhaps RH had a patch to fix the original problem, and then kaffe fixed it, but RH's patch is still applied to, thereby fixing the bug *twice* - I'm just guessing). It seems to me that the simplest reliable way now is to get rid of the path issue completely by making javac always work in the CWD. I.e. remove these two lines from ext/java/Makefile: javac net/php/reflect.java @test ! -f reflect.class || mv reflect.class net/php # bug in KJC javac and replace them simply with: (cd net/php; javac reflect.java) I think this will work no matter what buggy or non-buggy javac is being used.

A version check for kaffe may be needed to determine whether the workaround needs to be applied or not. Hope this helps. I love PHP (but also Perl and Python, to be honest - I pretty much a big fan of any language beginning with a "P" :D).
