Hi - I'm new at this but here goes.
welcome :)
My AWT app runs on an xscale using your official release - I do get occasional crashes though. I checked out the latest CVS and tried the pxa switch but got hundreds of warnings and eventual failure (not complaining - I know it is not an official release!).
We've turned on many warnings in the CVS in order to hunt down problems exposed by gcc's warnings that we'd rather fix now, than after 1.1.5 :) There is a big warning hunt going on, and we'd like to squish most of them till 1.1.5 comes out. Feel free to join us. :)
Note that we've turned on quite a few more warnings than the common -Wall :) So it's not as bad as it may seem by the looks of it, it's just that we'd like to be more confident in the next developer release's stability accross platforms. And going after the odd warnings that the compiler gives for free should help in that respect, and is much quicker than debugging a crash :)
The ARM jitter is being worked on at the moment. You could try to configure kaffe --with-engine=intrp to force it to use the interpeter for running kjc to build the class library, or you could use another compiler (jikes, for example) or use a precompiled rt.jar file.
When I ran (with strace) it bailed looking for jre/etc/kafferc which doesn't exist in my target build.
Uh, kafferc is only read by the kaffe script if it exists, as far as I know. Could you post the error message?
Any ideas? Is my hardcode approach invalid or incomplete?
Hardcoding values is ok, if you need to do it.
Am I missing something in my configure to make it need kafferc?
Kafferc is a nice was to save your kaffe settings. It's not needed to run kaffe, though. I assume there was some other error. See FAQ.debugging on how to debug kaffe in gdb.
Do I need to tweak my cross compiler?
Probably not, if it builds kaffe so far :)
(I'm brushing up and catching up on my unix/linux/c skills - have been away for 8 years)
welcome back! :)
cheers, dalibor topic
