PROBLEM BUILDING CDC WITH RED HAT 9.0

Question

HI, i'm trying to build CDC with the following command:
make CVM_JAVABIN=/usr/java/jdk1.3/bin CVM_GNU_TOOLS_PATH=/usr/bin CVM_DEBUG=true
It start to make some new direcotries, but later the following error occurs:
... mkdir ../../build/linux-i686/obj
... mkdir ../../build/linux-i686/btclasses
... mkdir ../../build/linux-i686/testclasses
... mkdir ../../build/linux-i686/cdc_classes
Checking for build-time classes to compile ...
Compiling build-time classes...
error: compiler message file broken: key=compiler.err.sun.io.MalformedInputException arguments=null, null, null, null, null,
null, null
100 errors
make: *** [.compile.btclasses] Error 1
Do you know what can i do? I'm using jdse1.3.1 and red hat linux 9.0.Thanks very much.

Hi,
I ran into the same problem with RH 9.0. To fix this problem you have two options:
1. Use jdk 1.4.x - if you use this jdk to perform the compile, you'll won't receive this error.
2. Modify your make file that performs the javac and make the following change: javac -encoding "ISO-8859-1"
Both of those approaches should get rid of that error.
Hope this helps?
Cheers,
Jeff
