Re: [Aegisvm-devel] Win32 port of JPR

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

Hi Gildas,

I am trying very hard to merge your win32 port into the CVS tree, but
I am having major difficulty setting up the environment on my winME box.
The main thing is that I am not able to build the latest cvs snapshot
of libffi.  I tried several things:
1/ In the cvs checkout there is a copy of configure script.  If I use it
   directly, it complains missing a certain ./../config-ml.in.  Obviously,
   the setting of $libffi_basedir was messed up inside the configure
   script.
2/ I then tried running automake/autoconf to regenerate the configure
   script.  The ones that seem to work produce Makefiles that require
   the substitutions @CCAS@ and @CCASFLAGS@, which are not actually
   defined.  With this broken Makefile, assembly fails.
3/ I even tried brute-force mutilating of the generated Makefiles and
   configure scripts, but nothing works.
4/ I tried working with the cross-compiler you suggested, same thing
   happened.
5/ I then tried doing a normal unix build on my linux box. The
   same things occurred, and so I conclude that it has nothing to do
   with the windows setup.  Even building libffi for linux would
   not work.

So, would you let me know exactly which CVS snapshot of libffi are you
using (e.g. which date)?  And which exact version of autoconf/automake
did you use?  Somehow, the latest snapshot of libffi doesn't like my
autotools installation.

Thank you in advance.  I really look forward to merging your port into the
cvs tree.

Philip
