Hi All, Is there anybody still working on an OSX/PPC port of JCHEVM? I tried to compile it on my iBook today and looked a little bit into it, but I'll not be able to do the port without some help. I read through the discussion which followed Archie Cobbs's announcement of the contribution [1] where Andy Oliver tried to port it, but I didn't find all the answers there. I don't really have experience with arch-specific stuff or porting to OSX/PPC, so if there's someone who wants to do the port instead of me I wouldn't mind too.
First of all the problem with the missing "elf.h". Simply copying it from a Linux system doesn't do the job (elf.h has other dependencies, and I didn't want to copy too much headers). Can I remove all the ELF specific stuff? I started doing so, it looks like a lot of work but AFAICS the ELF stuff isn't used anyway in the harmony edition. I saw that there is the following construct in some of the header files: #elif defined(__powerpc__) #include "powerpc/powerpc_[some-header].h #endif which I extended to: #elif defined(__powerpc__) #include "powerpc/powerpc_[some-header].h #elif defined(__ppc__) #include "ppc/ppc_[some-header].h #endif and added the appropriate headers (see next paragraph). Is there a powerpc-port of the original JCVM and could we use it for harmony? In the directory libjc/arch/ppc i added ppc_definitions.h, ppc_structures.h and ppc_libjc.h. I simply copied the files from the i386 directory and used the FreeBSD - Specific stuff where there were OS differences. This doesn't work for "ppc_libjc.h". Here the structure mcontext_t is not defined. Where does that come from on i386?
