Hi Tom,
Actually, we don't yet support kaffe for building javadx. We took the javac
-verbose route to automatically configuring the dx build which at the time
precluded kaffe. The dx configure leaves information for the dxsamples
configure. I bet we have not handled this correctly since this has changed in
"dx" and we have not
re-rolled a dxsamples tarball. Ouch.
Workaround #0: go to the dxsamples Makefile and remove java from the SUBDIRS.
The remaining might not work because of my oversight explained in the first
paragraph:
Workaround #1 : skip javadx, for dx, configure --without-javadx
Workaround #2: install jdk 1.1.8, I think there is an RPM for same, my favorite
though is the IBM jdk, it may want IBM_LINUX set and JAVA_ARCH set to linux
(vs. genunix ).
If you want to try to make dx build with kaffe, start by setting CLASSPATH
(KLASSPATH?) to /usr/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar prior to dx configure, and take
it from there.
I'll investigate the dx/dxsamples build coordination and try to get a fix in
soon. Thanks for the append.
