Hiya, I'm trying to get this to work:
http://www.iti.uni-stuttgart.de/~bartsc ... /Main_Page

I've mostly built Kaffe ( http://www.kaffe.org ) but build dumps at end due to the jitter only supporting o32. Are there any Java 5 alternatives for IRIX or am i SOL?

BTW, Ive built gEDA, FreeHDL, pcb, etc as well. They build with almost no problems.....

Best regards,
emachine

You are S.O.L. my friend. :D

It looks like you have two major problems to make this work.

First is the latest JRE for Irix is 1.4.1, I'm not aware of any other sources than SGI for a JRE and since your project uses 1.5.... Kaffe may be worth pursuing further, as it sounds like your mostly there.

The other problem is that your project uses SWT instead of Swing for its GUI. I think SWT relies on some native code to be compiled and at this point there isn't a working (or at least stable version) available for Irix. I know there was a discussion a while ago about trying to get Eclipse running on Irix, and there was some partial success so you may want to research that some more.

Cheers,

Generics and autoboxing would be sweet....

Where can I find a copy of the 1.4.1 JRE?

thanks.

hehe kaffe, kaffe, kaffe! Kaffe rules ! Well you could play with gcj.

kaffe in CVS semi-works on IRIX and linux/mips... I know because essentially, I'm the official tester for those. But intrp is the only way to go currently. Pthreads are reasonably fixed so you could try using those too. But jist... well... I did some work with a developer but the irix pain of having three different kind of ELFs is.. well, a pain.
Linux/mips is in a terrible state because... gdb is broken so it can't be debugged. But Ireally have only one mips box for testing so guys with embedded mips stuff can use it, because on SGI hardware, linux is an insult. Or, linux is an insult everywhere except when it replaces windows :)
