[Jython-dev] AArch64 support

[Andrew H. <ap...@re...>]

I've been trying to install Jython and not having much luck.

The symptom is that I get a fail when installing:

  File "/home/aph/jython2.7.0/Lib/pwd.py", line 60, in getpwuid
    return struct_passwd(entry)
  File "/home/aph/jython2.7.0/Lib/pwd.py", line 36, in __new__
    pwd = (newStringOrUnicode(pwd.loginName), newStringOrUnicode(pwd.password), int(pwd.UID),
NotImplementedError: passwd.pw_passwd unimplemented

I think I've tracked my problem down to an obsolete jffi which doesn't
support AArch64.  Do I need to do anything more than simply copy
jffi-i386-Linux.jar into extlibs?  is that a reasonable guess at the
failure?

BTW, I am the lead of the AArch64 OpenJDK port.  If you want me
to test on AArch64, I can do that.

Err, jffi-aarch64-Linux.jar  :-)

Andrew, thanks for checking this out!
Adding jffi-aarch64-Linux.jar sounds reasonable to me.
You will have to edit build.xml somewhere right after line 592
appropriately. Maybe there are more spots to adjust, I cannot
tell right now. I suggest to try adding the jar and editing
build.xml; if it doesn't work, I'd recommend to file an issue
at bugs.jython.org, so we can keep track and discuss further
steps there.

That seems to have mostly fixed things, but Mercurial doesn't work:
having said that, I don't know if Mercurial should work with jython
and jdk8.  I can't think of any reason why not, but

I ran the tests, and all is mostly cool up to here:

clean_py_class_files:

init:
    [mkdir] Created dir: /home/aph/jython/tests/modjy/build

do_test:
     [echo] Running tests against JDK 1.5, Servlet j2ee1.3

     ...

I guess this means that the testsuite wants jaxp to be installed
somewhere.  But I have no idea where.
