If the system-jdk is set to ibm (at least for version 1.4.2), the lib jawt isn't found, and the compilation aborts (see error below). After switching to the SUN-jdk, the emerge completes succesfully. === * Building AWT library cc -O -Wall -DSWT_VERSION=3135 -DLINUX -DGTK -I/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/include -I/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/include/linux -fpic -c -o swt_awt.o swt_awt.c ld -L/opt/ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2/jre/lib/i386 -ljawt -shared -s -o libswt-awt-gtk-3135.so swt_awt.o ld: cannot find -ljawt make: *** [libswt-awt-gtk-3135.so] Error 1 !!!

The IBM jdk does include libjawt.so. It is just in different location. For IBM jdk the libjawt.so is always in JDK/jre/bin For SUN jdk the libjawt.so is in JDK/jre/lib/{i386,amd64,ppc?} Another thing I noticed when creating an ebuild for eclipse 3.1 was that the IBM jdk for amd64 has broken jni.h header and the build wont work against it without some patching. The workaround is to add -D_JNI_IMPORT_OR_EXPORT_ to CFLAGS when compiling swt_awt.c
This has been resolved in the 3.1 ebuild, please try that. Mikko, could you please open a new bug for that AMD64 issue? (Assign to java@gentoo.org and CC compnerd@gentoo.org please).
