Hi Brian,
I apologise for the breakage. I have a fix for this, but have been trying to set up a
build
environment so that I can easily test my changes for build breakage in the future.
Unfortunately, I
haven't had much success so far as there seems to be multiple problems with the
classpath build...
1. configure looks for a 'japhar-config' file and aborts if it cant find it. There
doesn't seem to
be a way around this, as it tries to find the file even if "--without-japhar" is
specified. I
hacked my way around this by removing all the japhar detection stuff from
configure.in. (Obviously
the easy fix for these problems is just to give in and install japhar, but I couldn't
get japhar to
build either, it was a bad night ;-)
2. cant build in a subdirectory of the build tree, srcdir must be same as builddir.
This seems to
be because certain parts of the Makefiles are looking for things in top_srcdir when
they should be
looking in top_builddir (or vice-versa?). Got around this by building in the srcdir,
no biggie.
3. Default build tries to build things that simply cannot compile, such as java/awt
(theres no
Event.java, so it can't possibly work, right?). I had to edit lib/standard.omit and
add java/awt/*
and java/applet/* to get around this.
4. (and this is the problem that I'm stuck on) jikes doesn't seem to believe that
files in
java/lang and vm/reference/java/lang are actually in the same package. ie: when its
building
java/lang and looks for Runtime.java, it doesn't "find" it in vm/reference/java/lang
even though
vm/reference is on the classpath. What I can't understand is why japhar's
implementation of these
files wouldn't also suffer from this problem - or does the japhar build symlink them
or copy its
files into a single directory? or what?
Can anyone successfully build classpath without having japhar installed? Does anyone
build the
files in vm/reference?
thanks
