Thanks! Did you need to patch anything for gcc to build java, or did you need to just tell it to build? I remember when I started looking at it a few years ago there were some things needed, but I can't recall what I did. It's not difficult to add java to the port for powerpc, so if your changes were trivial, or you had no changes, that could be a good first step for us to add this to the ports tree. - Justin On Mon, Oct 26, 2015 at 3:14 PM, Curtis Hamilton <hamiltcl@verizon.net> wrote: > I don't have a wiki page.
