Hi Mark and Dalibor,
I've finally finished this detailed document, that explains how to
build Classpath 0.20 on Cygwin.
The following steps were tested on Windows XP Home and Win2000
Professional.
Enrico
1. Download the latest version of the Cygwin installer
--
http://www.cygwin.com/setup.exe
2. Run the installer: setup.exe
-
Choose Install from Internet and follow the instructions until
the installer prompts a Windows named:
Cygwin Setup - Select Packages
The installer has already selected the base packages to download,
now you need to add some more packages.
3. Add the following packages to the download list
---
Archive/zip
Devel/gcc-g++
Devel/make
Devel/automake 1.9
Devel/autoconfig 2.1
Devel/libtool 1.5
Devel/pkgconfig
Devel/atk 1.5 (all files)
Devel/pango (all files)
Graphics/gtk2-x11 (all files)
X11/gtk+(all files)
X11/gtk-engines
X11/xorg-x11(all files)
Note that some packages may have been already selected by the installer.
4. Download jikes-1.22
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jikes/jikes-1.22.tar.bz2?download
5. Unzip jikes-1.22.tar.bz2 with one of the following utilities
winrar (Windows utility)
tar (Cygwin utility: $tar -xjf jikes-1.22.tar.bz2)
6. Apply the following patch to the file .src/platform.cpp
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detailaid=1202863group_id=128803atid=712760
The patch is reported here:

}
7. Build jikes-1.22
---
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
$ make clean
you can save yourself steps 4-7, since jikes 1.22 is now part of cygwin.
cheers,
dalibor topic
8. Download Classpath-0.20
-
http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/
9. Unzip classpath-0.20.tar.gz with one of the following utilities
---
winrar (Windows utility)
tar (Cygwin utility)
10. Build Classpth-0.20
$ ./configure --with-jikes --enable-gtk-peer
$ make
$ make install
$ make clean
The install process will print quite a few Java and C warnings.
Note also that, since jni is enabled by default, ---enable-jni is not
needed.
11. The building process will install the Classpath library here
-
/usr/local/classpath/share/classpath/glibj.zip
- The End
The time required to do everything is about 30 minutes on a 1 GHz PC.
If you are a developer, you might want to install the following packages,
which, by the way, are not required to build Classpath:
Devel/gdb (all files)
Devel/ddd (all files)
Devel/subversion(all files)
gdb is the GNU command line debugger, ddd is the GUI front-end of gdb,
and subversion is a utility to check-out and check-in the source code
of a versioned project.

If you think it might be of interest, I'll post this second document too. ciao, Enrico

If you think it might be of interest, I'll post this second document too. The latter document (building JCHEVM on Cygwin) is better placed on the Apache Harmony web site. But it should definitely contain a pointer to the Classpath wiki entry describing how to build Classpath on Cygwin. -Archie __ Archie Cobbs *CTO, Awarix* http://www.awarix.com
