*guavac NetworkObject.java
>> Warning: Invalid classpath entry /ADFS::HardDisc4/$/Java/!guavac/classes.zip
Could not find java/lang/Object in the class path.
Compilation Failed

You've got an invalid classpath. It can't even find the base Object if it's entire classpath is duff.

As for what's wrong with your classpath though, it's to do with the RISC OS -> Unix mangling that goes on I'd guess, and when it comes to specifying file systems and disc names in this sort of mangled syntax it's all a bit of a black art to me, I'm afraid. I assume you have installed !guavac to ADFS::4.$.Java, and it contains a file called classes.zip?

And the file isn't filetyped something that sparkfs will pick up and make into an image file.

Maybe SparkFS is causing the problem. Maybe guavac wants to treat classes/zip as a file, but the RISC OS file system is treating it as an image file / directory. I remember having problems like this when trying to load an archive into SparkPlug (ie. treating as a file) when ArcFS was loaded (so it was treated as an image directory).

The only ??? is why you didn't contact the maintainer of the RISC OS port (???).

Serious query; if someone has any problem with something under the Unix Porting Project, I got the idea (http://www.chocky.org/unix/ section "Support") that you wouldn't help unless they were a member. From the above response it would seem that perhaps I (and maybe they) misunderstood. If you have a moment, it'd be nice if you could clarify for the benefit of myself, and perhaps anyone else who may have misunderstood, what you'd expect to be contacted about, and what one has to join for.

Edit: assuming of course that I'm correct in saying they you are the maintainer of the RO port, you appear to be from what I could tell!

Just because support isn't given, it's still reasonable to expect bug reports from users. That's clear. I'd also have thought it polite to distinguish between an actual bug and your own stupidity before bothering the (unpaid) maintainer, which is think is what this thread was about.

That sounds sensible, but I thought Chocky was implying that he should have contacted the maintainer of the RISC OS port before making the post. It was that which led to my confusion and whether to contact for things which may well be bugs or equally configuration errors.

I apologise. I had supposed that my problem was going to have an obvious "you're doing something wrong you dumbass" answer and that you wouldn't be interested. I consider iconbar a safe place to whack my question up and find out if I am in fact way off track. Saves you the trouble of having to deal with me if it was me screwed up.

In future, I'm happy to direct questions to you. It wasn't a snub.

Lewis
