[Sablevm-developer] Weird link error on FreeBSD

[Archie C. <ar...@de...>]

Hi,

First of all, if anyone else on this lists is interested in running
SableVM on FreeBSD, please feel free to offer suggestions re the port
(I'm the maintainer).

The FreeBSD version of SableVM doesn't seem to work correctly and
I'm mystified as to why. It might be some kind of obscure libtool
problem.

In any case, I'd appreciate a sanity check from the Linux crowd.
Does this happen to you? Under FreeBSD, running the attached class
file (produced with jikes 1.15) gives this output:

 $ sablevm DoublePrint
 *** Couldn't bind native method Java_java_io_FileOutputStream_writeInternal ***
 *** or Java_java_io_FileOutputStream_writeInternal__I_3BII ***
 *** Couldn't bind native method Java_java_io_FileOutputStream_writeInternal ***
 *** or Java_java_io_FileOutputStream_writeInternal__I_3BII ***
 java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError

But if you comment out the "float f = ..." line, it works just fine..
this seemingly makes no sense of course.

However, Float.intBitsToFloat() is a native method that requires
loading in the libjava-lang.so shared library. Perhaps this affects
SableVM's ability to subsequently load in the libjava-io.so shared
library, causing the error above.

Any ideas appreciated...

Thanks,
-Archie
