hi all We're very interested in using kaffe and possibly pocketlinux for the project i'm working on at the moment, and i've been spending a bit of time lately evaluating both of these. I've had no problems with the stuff i've built from source for my desktop box, but when i build kaffe for my assabet (SA-1110 processor - pretty much the same as an iPAQ except for a different LCD), things get interesting... I've attached the fgl.config, ipl.config and kaffe.config i've used - they are very nearly the same as those used for the ipaq. I've tried using the kaffe source from pocketlinux 1.0, as well as a checkout i got from the CVS repository last week with the same results: everything built, but didn't work ;( . I've been testing by telnetting in to my board, and trying to run 'hello world' To get the version of kaffe that came with pocketlinux1.0 to build, i had to configure it to use pthreads, rather than jthreads, and fix some problems in the build scripts (leading me to wonder what sources the binary distro came from...) Different things went wrong with different versions of kaffe on my assabet: * when using the kaffe sources from pocketlinux1.0, the kernel logs indicated a bunch of unhandled page faults were occuring, and there were also misaligned memory accesses taking place Running the VM under gdb indicates a segfault was occuring as a result of code on line 1156 of kaffevm/code-analyse2.c * when using the kaffe sources from cvs, and the binary from the pocketlinux1.0 distro, i just got unhandled page faults (config/arm/common.h , where there is some alignment related stuff is unchanged from pocketlinux 1.0) Running the VM under gdb shows that on line 1066 of kaffevm/systems/unix-jthreads/jthread.c there's a call to memcpy() with a NULL parameter... Then, on an ipaq: * The pocketlinux 1.0 distro (using filesystem and kernel from pocketlinux ftp site) works no worries * The binary version of kaffe from pocketlinux 1.0 runs ok, but i don't get my 'hello world' on the console * The version of kaffe i built from cvs chews up all the memory available to it, but dosen't do anything particularly useful... * There are some problems with the cvs sources concerning the build process for the ipaq config which i haven't worked thru yet, so haven't tried that... Could anyone give me some pointers as to how to get this working, or whether what i'm doing should work at all? has anyone else succesfully run kaffe on an assabet?, and have other people had problems building from the pocketlinux 1.0 sources?
