JIT or Hotspot?

2002-03-04 Thread Drew Lane
From what I understand there is no JIT or Hotspot in Blackdown, correct? What's the status of this exactly? Can we expect to see one soon? I haven't had much problem with Blackdown, but it is a bit too slow without a JIT. I was going to try IBM Java for Linux, but I'm stuck with Kernel 2.2 f

Could someone post release notes for this version to this list or at least point us to a link? I am particularly interested in the PPC version. I believe the release notes are inside the package but I'd rather see what was fixed before I download the tar. Thanks, Drew Juergen Kreileder wrot

Blackdown Java 1.3.1-02a for PPC I'm trying to recompile a program written in Java which make some native calls written in C. I'm getting the error: jni_md.h: No such file or directory I know that some people have recompiled this program on Intel boxes, so is this a problem with Blackdown PPC

OK, I think I got this fixed by changing a path in the Makefile. However, there seem to be a lot of missing fonts when I run the program. (?) (I see lots of warnings in the console) Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL P

Metroworks JIT for PPC

2002-04-01 Thread Drew Lane
Hi, I noticed there is an old JIT compiler for PPC by Metroworks. Will this work with Blackdown 1.3.1 for PPC? Will it be any faster than the interpreter? I think I really need a JIT. Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAI

Linux Fonts

No, in fact it looks like the same properties file I was already using. The exact message is: Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontspecific] Font specified in font.properties not found [--symbol-medium-r-normal--*-%d-*-*-p-*-adobe-fontsp

Thanks for all the help with the Linux font problem. I finally got it fixed today. This article helped: http://community.borland.com/article/0,1410,21836,00.html I also had to tweak the font.properties file. Regards, Drew p.s. I'm still dying to use a JIT with Linux PPC.

Re: Roadmap ? (JIT for PPC)

2002-05-22 Thread Drew Lane
From what was said here previously, Apple won't share their code with the Blackdown folks, so a JIT is not in the plans. This is certainly very dissapointing as Java without a JIT can be as slow as mollases (it seems to depend on what you're doing). You could try the Java SDK from IBM, but I've
