I maintain the gclasspath package (formerly classpath), and I recently  
learned that it has file conflicts with gcc43. For some reason, gcc43  
installs classpath along with it, and it does strange things to the  
files. For instance, it installs the classpath binaries to %p/lib/ 
gcc4.3/bin, and then it creates symbolic links to a couple of them in  
%p/bin (grmic and grmiregistry). I don't know why it puts only these  
two in bin but not others. Even stranger, it installs man pages for a  
bunch of classpath executables without making those executables  
available in %p/bin, and it installs only one of the three classpath  
info files.

I've decided to work around these problems by making classpath  
dependent on gcc43 and simply preventing it from installing the files  
that gcc43 installs. It can therefore fill in the gaps left by gcc43.  
However, I'm not sure if this decision is correct or even if I've  
implemented it properly. Could someone please take a look at it?

Thanks,

Trevor

DescDetail: <<
GNU Classpath, Essential Libraries for Java, is a GNU project to create free
core class libraries for use with virtual machines and compilers for the Java
programming language.
<<

DescPackaging: <<
The package is called "gclasspath" instead of "classpath" because Fink has a
bug preventing packages that install JAR files from being called "classpath."
See: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel/17181

The ConfigureParams field disables web browser plugin integration. If enabled,
pkg-config reports that it can find none of the following: mozilla-plugin,
firefox-plugin, xulrunner-plugin, mozilla-firefox-plugin, seamonkey-plugin,
and iceape-plugin. While it may be possible to support these in Fink, I'm not
sure how.

The ConfigureParams field also sets the infodir parameter to prevent Classpath
from installing files into the deprecated %p/info directory. Note that to get
this to work, the DESTDIR parameter also had to be set in the InstallScript.

The gcc43 package includes some Classpath files that are redundant with and
conflict with this package. For example, gcc43 installs grmic and grmiregistry
into %p/bin. As a workaround, this package simply avoids installing these
files and instead requires gcc43 to be installed. Therefore, gcc43 is listed as
a dependency even though this package does not actually depend on it. (gcc43
should be fixed so that it does not install Classpath files.

This is a one-time build, so the disable-dependency-tracking parameter is added
to speed up compilation.

The package does not build with "fink rebuild -m --build-as-nobody" due to a
prompt regarding the cpio command. Otherwise, build-as-nobody works fine.
