Enrico,
Did Tim's comment help? Did this resolve it?
Have you had any other porting issues in either
compilation or configuration? I would like for us to
keep up with these sorts of issues because it would
be great if we could support MSVC as one of the
development _and_ target type environments
for bootJVM.
Are you by chance familiar with doing InstallShield
scripts? This would give us an alternative for Windows
platforms for doing configuration and installation.
Please let everyone know what all you find as you
work with the MSVC environment so that that source
can be adjusted for portability when all the issues
are resolved. Just by the way, I'm still working on
the final bit of basic functionality of the JVM runtime
engine and should have something available soon.
Thanks for your help and interest.

Hi Dan,
I'm trying to compille bootJVM with MSVC 6.0.
Tim's. suggestion (long long = __int64) works fine.
I didn't translate the configuration and build scripts into .bat files
for Windows, I just
ran the scripts in Cygwin, in order to have the source tree available
and made a
"console application" in MSVC.
I'm not much familiar with InstallShield scripts and honestly I'd
prefer to dedicate
my spare time to work on the source code side (C is my "daily bread").
Right now I got some problems which I'm planning to solve during the
weekend,
here are two examples:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
rvoid argv_init(int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
{
rchar *chkjh;
chkjh = (rchar *) rnull;
rchar *chkcp; <--- MSVC flags this as a compilation error
..\jvm\src\argv.c(127) : error C2275: 'rchar' : illegal use of this type
as an expression
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
typedef struct
{
u1 tag;
u2 string_index;
struct LOCAL_String_binding
{
<-- MSVC doesn't like
an empty struct
} LOCAL_String_binding;
} CONSTANT_String_info;
..\jvm\src\classfile.h(1031) : error C2059: syntax error : '}'
I have to add "int foo;" in order to proceed
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certainly, the code will have to be slightly adjusted for portability.
Let me proceed and after the weekend I'll write a report.
ciao,
Enrico
