           Summary: Hidden GCJ HOME dependency misleading
           Product: IcedTea
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: IcedTea
        AssignedTo: unassigned at icedtea.classpath.org
        ReportedBy: gnu_andrew at member.fsf.org


The build relies on an option called --with-gcj-home to provide libjvm.  This
is not included in the output of configure. Thus, the first time it may be
found to be wrong is in make:

/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj  cannot be found. Try reconfiguring with 
--with-gcj-home=/path/to/java-gcj-devel

The option is also misleading.  The required structure is not a GCC/GCJ install
but an installation of gcj-java-compat.  What this option is really looking for
is a JDK-like structure.  As a result, it could also be used for javac and the
class library, but isn't.
