I am sorry but I don't have a solution. If I remember correctly, I also encountered that problem while working on the IA-64 port but finally I came up with a working version when I used a newer compiler (gcc-3.0.2) and a slightly different patch for jmp_buf save/restore. It would be nice if the problem was actually the KJC compiler. ;-) Bye, Gwenole.
Re: JRE file layout for 1.0.7?
Hi, But I would like to change the way the the files are installed when doing make install. Instead of installing it by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /usr/local/include, etc., I'd like to have the default install put everything in /usr/local/kaffe, in a JRE-style layout. Exactly, thank you. And like Sun's JRE, please put Kaffe arch dependent libraries in kaffe/Khost_cpu/. ;-) Is anybody opposed to this? Not at all. Also please make sure that the nativedir macro is DESTDIR-aware. It'll also impact the Debian and RPM packages. I don't think so thanks to the overrideable DESTDIR macro and, currently, overrriding nativedir as well. Bye, Gwenole.

Talking about that, it would be interesting to have Kaffe's lib directory be $(libdir)/kaffe/Khost_cpu/ instead of $(libdir)/kaffe/ as it is currently the case. That way, the -ia32 feature (to run the ia32 version of kaffe) could work out of the box without having the distributor to mess with overriding that variable. ;-) Random thoughts: 1) Could someone with an Alpha please try the JIT compiler? It doesn't appear to work according to what someone reported to me. 2) Is release date still expected within one week from now? I wonder if it wouldn't be better to have some public beta or prerelease snapshot first. That way, a wider audience could try it out, I hope. Bye, Gwenole.

What about IA-64 ? I had a patch against some 1.0.6 cvs snapshot 2001/08/19. However, it requires gcc3.0 and there is no JIT support. I heard Debian people would be interested too. Bye, Gwenole.
Re: IA-64 port
[Repost: I don't happen to see that message on the list] Hi, Are those patches available somewhere? They are available in the sources rpm (available on any cooker/srpms mirror) or in a previous mail I sent on this list. Bye, Gwenolé.
