[Aegisvm-devel] New stable CVS tags.

[Philip F. <pw...@us...>]

Hi

Some of you have reported difficulty with setting up the build
environment, especially with all its dependencies on other projects.
As of last Wednesday, my supervisor has placed an order on a
P4 linux box which will be used for supporting development of
this and other projects.   When it is ready, you may be given
access to the machine via ssh.  However, if you cannot wait, here
is another solution.  I have tried setting up the build environment
on the x86 Linux machine of the SourceForge compile farm.  I recorded
everything I did in two bash shell scripts.  You may access them
from the Tools/Build module of the cvs repository.  Just type two
commands and everything will be downloaded, compiled, and installed
for you.  Check out the README file in the Tools/Build module.
To access the compile farm, you need to be a member of a SourceForge
project.  So, if you are interested, please register at SourceForge,
and then let me know.  I'll add you into the developer list.
With this set up, you may even work from your Windows box by
ssh'ing into the SourceForge compile farm.

The exercise also uncovers a number of bugs in the bootstrap script,
configure.in/ac, and Makefile.am.  A minor bug was also fixed in order
to make things work with IBM's Jikes compiler.  A stable snapshot
of the cvs repository is the following:

  JPR/         release-libjpr-0_1_0a
  AegisVM/     release-aegisvm-0_1_0a

You are advised to build your work on top of the above rather than
release 0.1.0, which is now considered less robust.

Philip

The Aegis VM Project is an on-going effort to implement a lightweight,
secure JVM.  It will eventually feature a modular architecture, Proof
Linking, that supports pluggable verification modules.
