Re: [kaffe] Problems of Kaffe on mips-linux platform
Dear Kevin. Thank you for the reply. It helped me a lot. :) As you recommended, I got Kaffe source from 'Anonymous CVS' link on kaffe.org site, and compiled, tested the source on the i686 host system with the following configuration. ./configure --with-engine=intrp --with-awt=qt --with-qtdir=/home/sbkim/work/qt-3.0.6 --with-jikes --disable-debug The verification involved 1. make check 2. running simple applet, and it was free of errors. However, the build on mips-linux target has some problems, and I need your comments. I cross-compiled the source with the following configuration. CC=mips-linux-gcc CXX=mips-linux-c++ ~/work/kaffe/configure --with-engine=intrp --target=mips-pc-linux-gnu --host=mips-pc-linux-gnu --build=mips-pc-linux-gnu --with-includes=/usr/mips-linux/include --with-libraries=/usr/mips-linux/lib --with-awt=qt --with-qtdir=/home/sbkim/work/mips-qt --with-jikes --disable-debug It compiled OK, but when I did 'make check' 9 of 123 tests failed. There are two type of errors which occurred. 1. divtest failed... 4000 1 / 40004000 1 % 08000 1 / 80008000 1 % 04000 -1 / c0004000 -1 % 08000 -1 / java.lang.ArithmeticException8000 -1 % java.lang.ArithmeticException4000 2 / 20004000 2 % 08000 2 / c0008000 2 % 04000 -2 / e0004000 -2 % 08000 -2 / 40008000 -2 % 0 2. error compiling...

Re: [kaffe] Problems of Kaffe on mips-linux platform
First, an unmodifled Kaffe.1.0.7 release source
tree
will not give you a
working MIPS version of Kaffe.
The necessary patches to the release sources should
be in
ftp://ftp.paralogos.com/pub/kaffe/mips/kaffe-1.0.7.patch_kevink_021001
The changes were also merged with the
Kaffe.org
CVS repository, so if you're working from
development
sources, you should have them - along with all
the
fun problems that come with working from
development
sources.
Assuming you've got the right Kaffe
sources,
I see a couplemore potential problems.
One is that you
are using unix-pthreads instead of the Kaffe
internal
"jthread" multithreading scheme. There have
been
problems with Linux/UNIX pthreads for MIPS in
many
versions of the kernel and gnu libraries, and I

Subject: [kaffe] Problems of Kaffe on
mips-linux platform
Dear Kaffe experts.
Because it is my first time to post message in this mailing
list,
let me introduce a little bit.
Hello, my name is Seongbeom Kim, and I'm working for a
digital television project
that requires Java virtual machine. I've chosen Kaffe for
our virtual machine
because it is one of few VM solutions for mips-linux
platform.
The specification of our systemis...
---
Kaffe
version:Kaffe
1.0.7
Reference board:
TeraLogic Cougar-L board
CPU:
MIPS
OS:Linux
(kernel 2.4.17 monta vista linux RedHat 7.1)
AWT:QTE
(QTE 3.0.3)
cross compiling
with:mips-linux-gcc
(egcs-2.91.66)
configure
option:--target=mips-pc-linux-gnu
--host=mips-pc-linux-gnu --build=mips-pc-linux-gnu
--with-engine=intrp
--with-threads=unix-pthreads
--with-includes=/usr/mips-linux/include
--with-libraries=/usr/mips-linux/lib
---
What I have done with this development is...
1. Test build on i386-linux-QTE platform: it had no problem at all with
virtual frame buffer feature in embeddedQT.
2. QTE test on mips-linux: I verified it withtest programs.
3. Cross compiling for mips-linux-qte platform: build done, test compile
runningfor simple text based application done successfully.
The problems are...
1. When I try to running simple AWT example, the main thread hangs
inToolkit.createNative() and does not proceed.
The code in Toolkit.java
static void createNative ( Component c ) {WMEvent e =
null;
synchronized ( Toolkit.class ) {// even if this
could be done in a central location, we defer this// as much
as possible because it might involve polling (for
non-threaded// AWTs), slowing down the startup
timeif ( eventThread == null )
{startDispatch();}}
System.out.println( "startDispatch() done..." );--
does not print this message (hangs in startDispatch())
// do we need some kind of a context switch ?...
}
2. After some modifications in Java codes such as inserting
debugging messages, there happens strange errors.
[root@target /root]# javac -v HelloWorld.java[ start
compilation in verbose mode ]java.lang.VerifyError: In class

'make distclean' cannot solve this problem. Does anyone know about these problems? Please help me, I'm in a really big trouble. :( I assume that you're using jikes with a version 1.13 to compile kaffe's class library. You need to make sure you use jikes 1.13. Kaffe's class library sources trigger a bug in jikes 1.13 versions leading to the verifier problems you are experiencing. Check out this mail fr more information: http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2002-March/007730.html The latest version of jikes should be o.k. too, but you'd need to do some manual work in order to get it to generate the type of class files kaffe can work with. Jikes 1.18 generates Java 1.4 class files by default, and they need some support methods kaffe doesn't implement yet. My advice is to just use jikes 1.13, as that should just work. best regards, dalibor topic __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
