[Sablevm-user] AWT with SableVM

[Neil C. <ba...@li...>]

Hi all,

Has anyone managed to run any AWT programs with SableVM?  I know the Clas=
spath=20
project's AWT support is at a very early stage, but I haven't managed to =
get=20
as far as making a window appear.

Running a small test program (which just creates a Frame) sablevm just se=
ems=20
to hang with the message 'loading gtkpeer'.  I modified the build script =
to=20
try and force the gtk peers to be built, and it seems they have been, but=
 I=20
still can't make anything happen.  I admit I don't really know much=20
(anything) about the workings of the awt stuff in Classpath.

I'd appreciate any suggestions/pointers.

Thanks,
Neil

Hi,

I tried it but it didn't work.  It didn't hang however, it just couldn't
find some symbol in the library.

SableVM uses a customized version of the Classpath libraries.  The
snapshot taken from CVS may be several months old and that could explain
it.

Depending on how much time you have and your technical ability, one
thing you could try is:
1) Figure out the changes done by SableVM (i.e. with cvs diff)
   and do a patch.
2) Download the most recent Classpath libraries and apply the patch.

Thanks for your reply, David.

I checked out the latest Classpath from CVS, but couldn't quite work out what 
needed to be done to set up SableVM to use it.  If I have time I'll try the 
approach you suggest, but I'm not 100% sure that I'll actually need to do 
this as yet (I'm researching for an MSc project, but I'm not certain whether 
I'll be doing this project yet).

If I get anywhere, I'll keep everyone informed of my results.

Cheers,
Neil
