Re: [xmlvm-users] C target quick start

I just repeated the process on my Macbook with XCode. It all works great! iFireworks compiled and ran. I normally develop on a non-mac though, so I would be *very* interested in the posix target working under win or linux. But not a major priority - I can work in plain Java elsewhere and just port the missing parts on the Mac potentially. A couple questions as now I'm building my own custom application components. 1) Apache Harmony I believe, as well as GNU classpath already have posix-ish native implementations of most Java things. Is it a good idea to try to port/reuse these for xmlvm somehow? Since most of these are missing currently. Or is there a different strategy in mind? IE rewrite these things from scratch (yikes!). 2) For my own app I will need URL/HTTP client type functionality, or TCPIP sockets would work. What is the recommended method for me to implement these components while working under the C target? I would be happy to contribute my efforts. I would prefer more Java-ish approach than one that uses iOS APIs. 3) What is the purpose of the xmlvm2c/lib/proxies dir in the source tree? When should I have to modify these sources as an xmlvm user? 4) For the iOS APIs - there exist a lot of methods/tools to reflect Objective-C code, or even parsers could be used to generate Java stubs for the iOS APIs in bulk, that just thunk to the 'real' Objective C APIs. Is there anyone thinking to do this yet? Would there be interest in a script for this? Or is the plan to write all those emulation APIs by hand (it would be an immense undertaking this route - and things could get out of sync this way I'm thinking...) Great work on all this, thanks much for the help so far, its a great team here! - Sal On Mon, Mar 21, 2011 at 12:49 PM, Arno Puder <ar...@pu...> wrote: > The version of Boehm GC that is bundled with XMLVM is specifically for > iOS and shouldn't be used for other platforms.
