Hi all Amiga lovers, Hello? hmmm, seems I'm the only one in the hall tonight . . .
Firstly, the "maximum command line length" problem. Following a suggestion from Helmer, I have put a few Amiga-centric config variables into a file kaffe-1.1.0/config/$PLATFORM/$OS. Using the configure option "--cache-file=<xxx>", I was able to bypass the slow parts of the configure script without modifying any of the kaffe distribution. Also, the mystery of the Amiga crashing when configurating kaffe-1.1.0 is discovered. It appears that some of the long strings of filenames in the configure files are overflowing a buffer somewhere and crashing the system. If I import the configure file into an editor and break up the two long strings (one near line 470, one near line 32770) into two lines, the configure proceeds without error. Building it is another problem. I get a system crash after about 45 minutes and so far I have been unable to observe it just before it happens. I suspect it's another buffer overflow error, but a Make Clean and re-Make doesn't always crash the next time. Current problem is that I get a link error when Make-ing /kaffevm: *** No rule to make target `../../libltdl/libltdlc.la', needed by `libkaffevm.la'. Stop. Now when I look, there is no such file in /libltdl (probably the problem). But looking at the Makefile in /libltdl, I can not see anything wrong with the file contents (such as truncated lines which might prevent a file from being built). I have the file libltdl/libltdl.la OK. It's libltdl*C*.la which is missing. Can someone point me to where this file should come from? In the Makefile there is a line saying: "#noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libltdlc.la" Does this mean "no install"? What is this library, anyway? Is it something that my configuration thinks it doesn't need? I have tried a Make Clean in the libltdl directory as well as in the root directory, but the file still isn't generated next time. tony _______________________________________________ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe
