Hi Robert, Sven,
In the firecat startup script there is a section:
# Step 2: change this to point to your JDK directory.
# eg. jdk_home="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0/"
#jdk_home="/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2/"
#jdk_home="/usr/local/lib/sablevm/"
#jdk_home="/usr/local/kaffe/"
jdk_home="/usr/local/jamvm/"
This allows me to switch between VMs easily. The way I am doing it right
now is to create a directory structure of /usr/local/jamvm/ and create
bin/ underneath it. I then place a "java" wrapper(the attached file with
this email) in /usr/local/jamvm/bin/. I got this idea from Kaffe. Other
Java program might need a more complete structure(perhaps like what Kaffe
has?), but this is enough for firecat to run. Peanuts are nice ;)
