Description ASKS S.H. Zhong 2002-05-22 03:50:01 UTC 
	After compiling jikes from ports, you will find it has no "-encoding"
option. The "-encoding" option is import for java programer of non-English 
country. Without the "-encoding" option, the jikes compiled java program cannot
show non-English strings correctly. (ex. Japanese, Chinese...blahblah)

Fix: 

Install ports/devel/icu and do a little modify to the original 
configure file.
Replace all "-licu-uc" with "-licuuc".
Finally, run configure with
CPPFLAGS="-pthread -I/usr/local/include -L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/lib".

Jikes now utilizes the ICU library, which adds support for '-encoding'.
