Stephen> Opps. gcj doesn't show as being available on hppa. True. As far as I know nobody has ever tried it. Based on past experience I'd say a base port of gcj to hppa-linux should be simple. Probably `configure; make' would do it. This would be a port with a few flaws (slow null pointer checks, no reflection, and the interpreter wouldn't work). A full port is more difficult. It requires a lot of understanding of the platform's assembly language and ABI. Also the null-pointer checking code means knowing things about how signal handlers work, and being able to write some code for gcc. I don't have access to an hppa linux box so I can't try this myself. Tom -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
