Kaffe has compiled on Darwin/OS X for a while, but it has always failed the tests. The VM is corrupt and does not work for compiling the tests. Dalibor had made a change that allows Kaffe to build and test with an externally provided rt.jar, that does help in debugging the problems with the VM during the build process. This is how I configure Kaffe for a build:
# --with-rt-jar=<absolute path to rt.jar>
./configure --with-rt-jar=/Users/mfranz/dev/kaffe_rt.jar --with-jikes=no --enable-debug --enable-pure-java-math --disable-shared
The rt.jar should be the built from the same source as you are compiling (within reason). This can be compiled on a different platform, since it is byte code.
I tried 1.0.7 on OS X 10.1.x and it failed on a link (-L /usr/local/lib -lnative) or something like that. /usr/local/lib does not exist and I don't know what library -lnative is suppose to be.

Hello,
In the pursue of if and when Kaffe worked on darwin, I tried 1.1.0 today.
It builds fine and fails about everything except the first test
With the above configuration I don't think any pass (1.1.4).
PASS: HelloWorldApp.class.saveI think the issue is the same, but changes to the build process and other code move it around. So, yes, I agree.
error compiling:
./../../kaffe/kaffevm/file.h:69: failed assertion `((buf == NULL) && (

multix/kaffe-1.1.0/libraries/javalib/kjc.jar" -d . ./HelloWorldApp.java
FAIL: HelloWorldApp.java
133 of 137 tests failed
I wonder if this is always the same problem that changes "appearance" throughout the versions...
