Last month, I was able to build it for MIPS and i386 from source on their website. I've still got a kaffe mips binary lying around. This week I'll try to take dist-helio out of CVS and recreate a rom image including kaffe. >despite that..... > >i feel that a lightweight interpreter is the way to go. if waba is as >light as a scheme or a forth and codes like java, then it seems like a >bright idea. > I'll poke around, get more info about Waba and let y'all know what I find out. >the other thing to try would be the gjc, that would make native exe's. >but i doubt that it's ported to the helio-linux2.X-mipsel architecture :-) > Ummmm - time for me to ask a stupid question - I do this alot ;-( I'm not familiar with gjc, but it sounds like an i386 based MIPS cross compiler. If it is, what's the difference between it and the vhl-tools cross compilation tools?
