Hi Dmitri, hi Dave, > Moving to GNU Classpath 0.99 may be a problem for Mac users. 0.99 doesn't seem to build on Mac OS X. > At least it would be helpful to keep an option to build the RVM with 0.97. there are two issues with moving to 0.99: - First and foremost, 0.99 does not yet contain Andrew's fix to the performance issue I'd uncovered. - Second, 0.99 indeed fails to build under Mac OS X (issue described at <http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gcc.java.patches/16395>); assuming this is the issue Dmitri encountered, this should be fixed in the git HEAD. However, my Ant script currently downloads 0.97.2 by default and only if asked (-Dclasspath.from-git=true) it fetches the latest (post-0.99) HEAD from the Git repository. So, in a sense, this is the best of both worlds -- unless we really want to go to the trouble of maintaining our own patches fixing the performance and build issues of vanilla 0.99. (I probably won't have time to prepare those in the next couple of weeks; finishing my thesis right now.) Best wishes, Andreas |
