Hi all,
It seems I've been down this road many years ago with M68K on the old AmigaOS.
Well, now I'm at it again using the new PPC AmigaOS, so here come all the
damn fool questions again.
It's great to have you back, Tony!
Trying to build 1.1.7, I found when I tried to Make that the classpath branch
had not been configured. So I went into classpath and tried to configure it.
It fell over because it says that it can't find javac and that I
should use jikes or some other compiler. I told it to use jikes but of
course I don't have jikes for the PPC Amiga so that isn't going anywhere.
If you have a C++ compiler for amigaos-ppc, you should be able to just
./configure && make && make install the jikes 1.22 sources from
jikes.sf.net .
Unless you have gtk+ installed, you'll want to pass --disable-gtk-peer
to kaffe's configure as well,
and since you are on powerpc, --with-engine=intrp.
Now I'm in the position that I can't compile Kaffe without classpath and I
can't compile classpath without a java compiler and I can't ... you get the
idea.
Yeah, bootstrapping is always a pain. In case it doesn't work out with
jikes, you can use the
--with-glibj-zip argument to configure to give it the path to the glibj.zip
(i.e. rt.jar in GNU Classpath's terminology), that's been built on another system.
Have I missed something or do I have to build up a Linux system to bootstrap
myself onto the Amiga?
I hope that you don't have to built a linux system for it. If you run
into trouble bootstrapping, join us on
IRC on #kaffe on irc.freenode.org
cheers,
