Kaffe on Darwin/OS X has never worked as long as I have been trying to use it. The fact that it compiles is good, but there is something wrong with the resulting VM. I have spent some time trying to get it working, but my time is limited. I have not made much progress. I think it is either the threading or the memory management. I would very much like to see it working again!

Hello,
I tried to compile kaffe 1.1.3 form the .tar.gz since that is the version from darwinports.
However: 140 of 144 tests failed Please report to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and looking... compiling just doesn't work:
java.lang.ClassFormatError: truncated class

I hvae only one suspect, but it may be a false alarm. After decompressing .tar.gz I found one @LongLink file, this means that with one file gnu tar made a mess. It is a single case, it would be really bad luck. I have BSD tar and I would start advising to use BSD tar for kaffe distribution instead of buggy GNU crap. In any case, the guys at darwinports.. have BSD tar too!!!
