Hello everyone I installed the binaries from www.kaffe.org/ftp/pub/kaffe/binaries/linux/kaffe-1.0.5-6.mips.rpm on my pda. The kerenl is: # uname -a Linux (none) 2.4.0-test1-ac22 #12 Thu Oct 4 15:59:00 PDT 2001 mips unknown I took out the stuff in /usr/bin/kaffe that busybox doesn't support (sed and a few others) and added some debugging info to make sure I didn't screw up the CLASSPATH et al. I'm trying to execute /usr/share/kaffe/Test.class which was compiled with jikes v1.12 on a i586 running RedHat 7.0 kernel 2.2.16-22 # ls /usr/share/kaffe comm.jar kjc.jar Klasses.jar microsoft.jar pjava.jar rmi.jar servlet.jar tools.jar Test.class # pwd / # kaffe Test KAFFEHOME =/usr building classpath adding . adding /usr/share/kaffe/Klasses.jar adding /usr/share/kaffe/comm.jar adding /usr/share/kaffe/pjava.jar adding /usr/share/kaffe/servlet.jar adding /usr/share/kaffe/tools.jar adding /usr/share/kaffe/microsoft.jar adding /usr/share/kaffe/kjc.jar adding /usr/share/kaffe/rmi.jar KAFFELIBRARYPATH = /usr/lib:/usr/lib/kaffe LD_LIBRARY_PATH = /lib:/usr/lib:/usr/lib/kaffe PATH = /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/lib /usr/lib/kaffe/bin/Kaffe Test Couldn't find or load essential class `java/lang/Object' java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError java/lang/Object I unzip -l Klasses.jar and see the Object.class is present. When I run kaffe Test on the i586 with the jar's that go on the pda, I get the correct output. I've attached Test.java just in case anyone wants to take a look. After ruling out the simple stuff, I think the problem might be caused by a library that can't read the jar files. Is that even a possibility? Which library handles reading .jar files? Is it libz or libzip? Does anyone know which version is the correct one for mipsel? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
