Archie, Ivan,
I am following the email that Ivan Snowdosker sent on Monday, Feb 20
that describes how to build and run JCHEVM. I have hit a couple of
bewildering snags. I installed the latest version of cygwin from the
net but there still seems to be build problems.
I need to build classpath-0.20 to get the native methods.
"./configure --with-jikes --enable-jni" seems to run OK. But when I
type, "make" for classpath-0.20, it somehow sets "top_srcdir=.."
instead of "top_srcdir=." The Makefile sets it to "top_srcdir=." but
it somehow gets reset to "..". I can't find where it gets reset.
Yes, I was also surprized by such behaviour.
This was with jikes downloaded and installed from cygwin site.
If I remember right the problem magically gone when I got jikes sources
from here
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jikes/jikes-1.22.tar.bz2?download
and build jikes from sources after applying this patch
