Hi,
I have recently started experimenting with java but I have come across a very
frustrating problem for which I can find no solution.
Basically, I can't seem to get javac to see any classes which are defined in
source files other than the one being compiled, except that is, for the
classes which come with java. I can, however, compile single files containing
multiple classes just fine.
I've tried various values of CLASSPATH including the full path to the source
directory and just '.' to no avail. I've also tried the -verbose switch which
seems to confirm that the required source files are not being picked up and
the -classpath switch which gave me different errors basically saying that
javac could not find the error text (I think).
I've also tried running javac from another directory because I read something
somewhere about not running something in the classes directory. (I've since
checked that again and it was referring to the browser, not the compiler).
I also tried keeping all names less than 8 characters (yuck!) but that didn't
help either.
I have also tried this on the source posted here recently by Doug Lea, which
is supposed to be (and probably is) OK.
BTW I am using java for NT Alpha 2 on NT 3.5.1
Thanks in advance for any help
