[Sablevm-user] SableVM libffi

From: Brian J. <cb...@gn...> - 2003-01-05 04:32:11

Small question on where SableVM wants the user to obtain libffi.  I
think the gcc repository is sort of the definitive source for this
now... need to check to see if I can install it independently from
that though.

Only due to neglect of the upstream sources.  If anyone is interested in
helping me revive the stand-alone upstream libffi, I would really
appreciate it...

Thanks,

Hello,

I was able to compile it and install it independently for Mac OS X from
the GCC source.

GNU/Debian compiles it as an independent package that can be installed.

From the libffi package page:
http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/libffi2-dev.html
They get the gcc sources and apply a diff.  If you are familiar with the
Debian process, it is probably possible to look at how it's done.

Yeah, I did an update on my checkout of gcc and did this too.  I ran
into the problem of being unable to create the vm because I think of
my Jikes being 1.18 and not 1.15.  I tried compiling 1.15 but it
didn't compile with gcc 3.2 so I've had to abandon my hopes of trying
out SableVM for a little while.

Remember that class files are system independent.  If you have access to
another architecture with the right version of Jikes running, you can
compile them there and just copy the class files.
