Hello,

I want to access MS SQL server from a Linux box with Java.  I was
very happy to find a GPLed JDBC driver which claims to do this
job.

I'm using Debian/GNU Linux potato with jikes Version 0.55 (28 Jul 99).
According to its error messages I had to remove "+V" from the JFLAGS
variable.  But this doesn't help very much when compiling:

> make
 jikes -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip +D +E -g   -d . 
Logger.java
 jikes -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip +D +E -g   -d . 
HexDump.java
 jikes -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip +D +E -g   -d . 
TdsException.java
 jikes -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip +D +E -g   -d . 
TdsConfused.java
 jikes -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip +D +E -g   -d . 
TdsNotImplemented.java
 jikes -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip +D +E -g   -d . 
TdsUnknownPacketSubType.java
 jikes -classpath .:/usr/lib/jdk1.1/lib/classes.zip +D +E -g   -d . 
TdsUnknownPacketType.java
 TdsUnknownPacketType.java:39:8:39:35: Error: Duplicate declaration of type 
"HexDump". The other occurrence is at location TdsUnknownPacketType.java:38.
 make: *** [com/internetcds/jdbc/tds/TdsUnknownPacketType.class] Error 1

I'm really new to Java so that I can't cope with this error message.
Alternatively I tried javac from 1.1.7v2.
With javac I was able to compile the package.

A remark to the Makefile:  While performing `make install` the
Makefile should test, if /usr/local/share/LocalJava is existent.
If not, the install process fails.

Kind regards

        Andreas.
