[xmlvm-users] --target=posix

[Arno P. <ar...@pu...>]

Guys,

a few days ago I posted a reply giving two examples on how to use the C 
backend. We have since integrated the C backend better into the XMLVM 
processing pipeline. Here is how to do the two examples I mentioned 
earlier using the latest version of XMLVM:

java -Xmx700m -jar dist/xmlvm.jar --target=posix \
   --in=bin/org/xmlvm/test/ReflectionTest.class \
   --out=ReflectionTest
cd ReflectionTest/dist
make
./build/ReflectionTest

Note that there is a --target=posix now. This target will generate a 
self-contained project as well as a Makefile to make compiling easier. 
For the posix target we also now include the garbage collector. This 
means that you can cross-compile a Java program to any standard Posix 
platform!

Here is how to compile iFireworks with the simplified XMLVM pipeline:

cd demo/iphone/ifireworks
ant
cd -
java -Xmx700m -jar dist/xmlvm.jar --target=iphone-c \
   --app-name=iFireworks \
   --resource=demo/iphone/ifireworks/res/ \
   --in=demo/iphone/ifireworks/build/classes/ \
   --out=ifireworks
open ifireworks/dist/iFireworks.xcodeproj

What is still missing is the implementation of native methods as well as 
the Cocoa wrapper for iOS applications. But things are moving along nicely.
