  10 All documentation, including detailed installation and usage instructions,
  11 can be found on the gcj web pages at the following URL:

  16 QUICK INSTALLATION
  17 ==================
  18
  19   > mkdir build
  20   > cd build
  21   > ../libgcj/configure --enable-java-gc=<GC TYPE> \
  22     --enable-threads=<THREADS TYPE>
  23   > make
  24   > make install
  25
  26 where:
  27
  28 <GC TYPE> specifies the Garbage Collection library to be used by libgcj.
  29 Currently the only supported value is "boehm".
  30
  31 <THREADS TYPE> specifies the threads library to be used by libgcj. Currently
  32 the possible values are "posix" and "none". This value must be the same as
  33 the value used when configuring gcc itself.
  34
  35 Consult the gcj web pages for additional "configure" arguments.
  36
  37 NOTE: libgcj can not be configured/built in the source directory. You must
  38 create a separate build directory.
