In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Dalibor,
You are too tarse, but this may indicate jikes-1.21 can be the latest 'stable' release for kaffe. Am I right?
Well, it works for me(TM), I'm using 1.21 daily to hack on kaffe :) I'm changing kaffe-extras to use jikes in order to make it easier to build the projects involved in building kaffe's kjc, as Guilhem asked me for that on IRC. Using kjc from 1.1.4 for that proved to be rather hard, since ant's build.xml had to be patched to bootstrap, and so on. Using jikes for the bootstrap, things work faster, and with less manual labour involved. [1]
So a build of Kaffe's kjc frm scratch takes just around 3 minutes for me now, including the time to fetch the tarballs, and extract them.
cheers, dalibor topic
[1] Not that there is anything problematic with kjc, it's just that most people expect greedy compilers when they write a build.xml file, so things break with kjc. Kjc expects to be delivered all the files needed in a compilation run on the command line. That's contrary to jikes, or Sun's javac, which will go looking for sources for classes that are referenced by the classes on the command line. Both approaches have their pros and cons. :)
