Hello list, I don't know if is this the proper list to ask, I've working on embedded systems with java, so this year I decide to upgrade my base system, and as always build it from scratch. As JVM, I use kaffe, cause was portable and able to be changed for building on uClibc, so kaffe has no more a version of classpath embedded anymore, they use now Gnu Classpath as an external required tool. I have gnu gcj from gcc 4.2.3. Trying to compile Gnu Classpath 0.97.1 it ask for a javah command, but cause I do not have already a JVM I don't have this feature, so I need Java to build Classpath and Classpath to build Java. Then I was able to build kaffe 1.1.7 that has an embedded older version of classpath. Next time I ran configure script, it pass the javah requirement, but stucks on gcj, that not support gcj -C, debbuging it is: -target 1.5 -source 1.5, gcj does not known about thoose options. Trying to get an older version of Gnu Classpath, I run ./configure from 0.90 version, it detects gcj, and builds properly and fine, but is old.... so if we talk as Gnu Classpath as an alternative to Sun's JVM... How can I build the lastest version 0.97.1 or newer just having gcj it means without a classpath. I'll gonna try gcj from another gcc version may be unstable or new 4.3.0 but I don't know about this feature 1.5, may be is something related to CLASSPATH variable, I set this variable to a wide set of combinations including the path to glibj.zip from Gnu Classpath 0.90. I have jikes too, but classpath complains about -Xlint:unchecked works... configure: error: The Java compiler javac -Xlint:unchecked failed uLinuxIV kaffe # jikes --version Jikes Compiler - Version 1.22 - 3 October 2004 uLinuxIV kaffe # java -version java full version "kaffe-1.4.2" kaffe VM "1.1.7" Engine: Just-in-time v3 Version: 1.1.7 Java Version: 1.4 Heap defaults: minimum size: 5 MB, maximum size: unlimited Stack default size: 256 KB I'll keep trying :-| -- Gustavo Guillermo Pérez Compunauta uLinux www.compunauta.com
