If you can come up with a patch that simplifies cross compiling, I'll be glad to check it in. At the moment it's quite hard for novices, as one needs to know what variable to set, which file to edit, and so on. for example, it should be easy to find out if we have a working kaffeh installed and use that as KAFFEH unless one is specified. the same for the compiler: if we are cross compiling, and JIKES is not set, set it to the first javac we find, or jikes. the first case finds sun's javac and kaffe, the other finds jikes. best regards, dalibor topic __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
