Thanks for testing. Just looked at your regression mailinglist http://www-124.ibm.com/pipermail/jikesrvm-regression/ and see that on Tue, 29 Jun 2004 05:42:55 -0400 there is a report about classpath CVS head regression SUCCEEDED; 0 mauve failures but after that date there seems to be always either script trouble or one regression failure in prototype: Failed in SPECjbb2000. Do you know more about what caused that? I now have a working rvm (CVS) + GNU Classpath 0.10-pre1 prototype build working my self and it looks OKish. But not perfect. The good thing is that it indeed just works out of the box with a GNU Classpath build (just point it to the install dir and off you go!). The Mauve results look good. But there seem to be some trouble with serialization (reflection?) and networking. This is not new however (I compared the result with mauve results that I made back in April.) None of the AWT test work however. I will try to get Steve his patch in if it doesn't break any other compiler/runtime. Since the rest works out of the box and John Leuner created a classpath-common package for Debian that is used by jikes, kissme and jamvm now already it would be nice to share this work with the Jikes RVM project. Especially since Steven Augart worked so hard on both the portable-native-sync patch and the Debian packages. What also doesn't work is eclipse, neither 3.0 nor 2.1.2. I know 2.1.2 used to work in the past. The attached stacktrace indicates that there is something wrong with the JNI Get_JavaVM() method. If that is the case then the GTK+ AWT peers will also not work since the JNI threading support depends on it. For people that want to play with jikes rvm and GNU Classpath 0.10 themselves you need to follow the manual closely: http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikesrvm/userguide/HTML/Bootstrapping_with_Kaffe.html You need precisely the tools listed there. The jikes (byte code compiler) and kaffe (bootstrapping runtime) in Debian testing/unstable won't work. You will need the 1.1.9 and 1.1.4 versions. ftp://www-126.ibm.com/pub/jikes/1.19/jikes-1.19.tar.bz2 ftp://ftp.kaffe.org/pub/kaffe/v1.1.x-development/kaffe-1.1.4.tar.gz With those and the attached i686-pc-linux-gnu.kaffe.mjw config file you should be able to at least build a prototype build when you comment out the following line in i686-pc-linux-gnu.kaffe # export RVM_FOR_SINGLE_VIRTUAL_PROCESSOR=0 The glibc that comes with Debian testing/unstable doesn't support this setting. You can just use the same installed GNU Classpath 0.10 (pre) which you use with jikes, jamvm or kissme normally. Cheers, Mark
