Well, I switched over to using the "org.openembedded.dev" branch and did a "git pull" to make sure it was
Up to date.

I still get the same error when building "classpath". From the log.do_configure file:
-----
configure: WARNING: I have to compile Test.class from scratch
checking for ecj... ecj -warn:-deprecation,serial,unusedImport
checking if ecj -warn:-deprecation,serial,unusedImport is a version of gcj... directory does not exist: --version
checking if ecj -warn:-deprecation,serial,unusedImport works... yes
checking if java works... configure: error: The Java compiler ecj -warn:-deprecation,serial,unusedImport failed 
   (see config.log, check the CLASSPATH?)
FATAL: oe_runconf failed
--------

I am using the following:

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-initial = "cacao-initial"
PREFFERED_VERSION_cacao-initial = "0.98"

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/java-native = "cacao-native"
PREFFERED_VERSION_cacao-native = "0.99.3"

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/javac-native = "ecj-bootstrap-native"
PREFFERED_VERSION_libecj-bootstrap = "3.4"

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_classpath = "classpath"
PREFFERED_VERSION_classpath-initial = "0.93"
PREFFERED_VERSION_classpath-native = "0.97.2"

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_swt3.4-gtk = "swt3.4-gtk"

PREFFERED_VERSION_cacao= "0.99.4"
PREFFERED_VERSION_classpath= "0.98"

Are these a good combination? I am building on an x86-64 machine for i686 target with Angstrom as my distro.

Suggestions on what to try/investigate?

Thanks in advance,

Mark
