Support for javax.comm api

860005

Hello,

I coded a program that reads NMEA sentences from the GPS devices. I used a serial port connection with the device and JAVAX.COMM API for serial port programming. The program is running smoothly in windows OS.

I want to run the code on development kit, I installed linux and GCJ on the device. But the problem is GCJ give error while compiling serial code. (all javax.comm methods)

I was wondering, if you could help me solve this problem.

Regards,
Wasif Iqbal

If you have to resort to GCJ, you are already on thin ice and should rethink your strategy. I'd say you don't need Java but you need a native C/C++ application. In any case, a Google search for "gcj java comm" resulted in this as the first hit:

Amazing what a simple Google query can tell you in under a second, huh?

GCJ is not a Java compiler, and it relies on a library called GNU CLASSPATH which isn't Java either. Don't use it, and don't ask about it here, this site is for Java as defined by the Sun/Oracle specifications.

Java classes are cross-platform. If there is a Java runtime for this Linux version then you can run them even if you compiled them on Windows. If there is no compatible Java runtime then you should have done your research before writing the code.

Download and install a JDK from Sun/Oracle for the platform and use the 'javac' command.
