[Sablevm-developer] while building ant... and some other stuff

[Grzegorz P. <ga...@de...>]

Hello!

My first mail, sent to sablevm-developer list (after I subscribed)
still hasn't reached my mailbox. So I am Cc:ing Etienne.

So I have got early packages, they're:
sablevm
sablevm-nativelib
sablevm-classlib

It is very nice that /usr/bin/sablevm is designed to be replacement
of /usr/bin/java.
It is also very nice that it doesn't need to be given classpath path
on the commandline, however I'd like it to search not only for
/usr/lib/sablevm/classes-$VERSION, but at least for
/usr/lib/sablevm/classes if the above is not found.
(it will be a symlink to /usr/share/sablevm/classes anyway, but that's
another story)

So as I said before - I tried to compile ant. the critical part, that
gives me problems is this:

/bin/sh bootstrap.sh
... Bootstrapping Ant Distribution
... Compiling Ant Classes
... Copying Required Files
... Building Ant Distribution
/usr/bin/java -classpath
build/classes:src/main::/usr/share/java/antlr.jar:/usr/share/java/bsf.jar:
/usr/share/java/junit.jar:/usr/share/java/log4j.jar:/usr/share/java/oro.jar=
:
/usr/share/java/regexp.jar:/usr/share/java/xalan2.jar:
/usr/share/java/xercesImpl.jar:/usr/share/java/xml-apis.jar:
/usr/lib/sablevm/classes:/usr/lib/tools.jar -Dant.home=3D.

java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError
... Failed Building Ant Distribution !


It works with kaffe and blackdown 1.3 java.
Any hints are welcome. On my side - I was told that the latest jikes,
which is currently in unstable (I use unstable, so I used this version
of compiler too) - has some serious problems. I'll try to recompile
sablevm-classpath with previous version and if that changes anything
- I'll tell you.

PS: As I am not sure if my subscription works (I have received message
that claims I _am_ subscribed) - please Cc: me.
I don't understand why in sablevm-developer archive at
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=3D4154
newest message is dated 2001-09-24 ?

PSS: Is this really needed to show all that long information about
SableVM and all stuff about it when the only important part is
one-liner message about error?
IMVHO a kind of 2-4 liner information would be more in place here.

PST: It would be nice to have a kind of JAVA_HOME environment.
Is there some documentation about what should be there?
(I can _look_ at what kaffe/blackdown put there of course) -
what do you think of JAVA_HOME? How should it be set for SableVM?
