Re: jdk with a small distro

2001-05-21 Thread Alexander Popov

Hi guys,

We are currently trying to create a small linux
distribution (with as small memory footprint as
possible) to run java apps.
So we've compiled a cut-down kernel and we made a
small VM (I've cut a Blackdown JDK1.1.8 to about
3.5MB - all this will stay on a less than 8MB
flash)...
The main problem is the glibc - we intend to use
glibc-2.1.3 (most VMs work with this or later
version)...
So we managed to make a 1.3MB libc.so but its
still much too big...

So my question is: What parts of the glibc can we
strip down - what does the Blackdown 1.1.8 VM need
from the standard glibc?

Any help will be appreciated greatly...

Hint: We aim to run java based software (that
needs mostly java.net, java.math etc., but no awt,
imaging,sound,locales etc. ) on 8MB RAM system
with Linux/Blackdown 1.1.8

Try this?

nm -g -D -u /usr/local/java/jdk1.2.2/bin/i386/green_threads/java

Re: possible library bug (fwd)

2001-05-21 Thread Michael Walton



I e-mailed nvidia with the bug report
and i was told to do an "ltrace". Does anyone
on these mailing lists know how
I go about that?
The suggestion (by nvidia) is that the java VM
isn't allocating big enough strings.

Hi,

are you able to check the java vm code or get an ltrace of the offending code.
We've had problems in the past with apps creating a static string of maxlength
256, then dying when using glGetString to get our list of extensions (which is
longer than 256 chars, we just support too darn much ;)

If you can either get an ltrace or check the calling code, we might be able to
verify if this is what the problem is, or if there's another problem.

Please help me to unsubscribe to java-linux-digest.
Maybe I used some other adress when I subscribed:

or it doesn´t work because I filled it in from a webpage.
