This is a highly experimental Linux GTK compile of AppleCommander. This version does not require Java nor does it require the SWT distribution - it is compiled into a native Linux executable. To launch AppleCommander: $ cd $ ./applecommander.sh Let me know if this works for you. Thanks! RobGreene at users.sourceforge.net Items of note: 1. The graphics libraries that AppleCommander use are either in a Sun JVM or in JDK 1.4.x - neither of which GCJ supports. All graphics options are disabled (if they aren't, they certainly won't do anything). Yes, GraphicsFileFilter.java was hacked to bits for this part. 2. The libraries that GCJ requires are listed here. My Linux/Unix is rusty enough that I have no clue if they are standard or not: $ ldd AppleCommander libgcc_s.so.1 => /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x40023000) libgcj.so.3 => /usr/lib/libgcj.so.3 (0x4002c000) libm.so.6 => /lib/i686/libm.so.6 (0x40612000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/libz.so.1 (0x40634000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40642000) libc.so.6 => /lib/i686/libc.so.6 (0x42000000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i686/libpthread.so.0 (0x40645000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) 3. I do not have the full GTK development environment. Thus, the two *.so libraries that are distributed and the need to launch AppleCommander from applecommander.sh to setup LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 4. For those interested, I have build files (not Makefiles) that will be posted in the build subdirectory of the AppleCommander source files on SourceForge.net. Note that the copy of SWT source that I obtained from eclipse.org had pieces that would not compile - * org.eclipse.swt.custom.DisplayRenderer.java Added the following explicit import: import org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText.LineCache; Not sure - this may be a GCJ issue. * org.eclipse.swt.custom.TableCursor.java Changed "void traverse(...)" to "boolean traverse(...)" and added returns to return the same value as "event.doit". This is because the method that is over-ridden returns a boolean - so this class could/should never have compiled before, right? * org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.GtkSelectionData.java * org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.GtkTargetEntry.java Both of these classes were "mangled". I basically had to replace/fix the newline character through the file. *** END ***
