The file RELEASE-NOTES in the kaffe 1.0.7 source distribution has the following to say on MIPS: * MIPS (Big-Endian) / Linux Tested Version: 1.0.7 (Final) Configuration: Default (jit3) OS Version: Debian unstable/woody, Linux 2.4.17 Hardware: SGI Indy (R4000SC V3.0 100MHz) Compiled with: gcc 2.95.4 Results: Did not compile (sigcontext.h not found from md.h) Reported by: Jim Pick * MIPS (Big-Endian) / IRIX Tested Version: 1.0.7-rc1 Configuration: Default Results: Compiles, a few "make check" failures. Reported by: Dalibor Topic * MIPS (Little-Endian) / Linux Tested Version: 1.0.7 (Final) Configuration: Default (jit3) OS Version: Debian unstable/woody, Linux 2.4.17 Hardware: Masquerade Pro (R5000 250MHz) Compiled with: gcc 2.95.4 Results: Did not compile (sigcontext.h not found from md.h) Reported by: Jim Pick So if you're considering doing any work on kaffe on mips-linux, you should either use current CVS code, or backport the mips fixes to 1.0.7. I can't say what's the status at the moment on irix, I haven't had a chance to run on it for a while. With the code from CVS, you should configure kaffe to use the interpreter engine (--with-engine=intp), as the jit has some issues that may crash the java compiler during compilation of the class library, as far as I know. Or you could use jikes to compiler the class library, using the --with-jikes option, and use the mips jit engine. Make sure you are using jikes 1.13 though, all later versions will result in some problems. and now over to Kevin for the detailed report on the status of MIPS support under kaffe ;) best regards, dalibor topic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
