Re: Solution for 5.0 language features in Eclipse(Re: And enum types (Re: API with generics))
I'm looking forward to see this voting happeningif this compiler option is added into build system, it will introduce big convenience to current development and help to avoid mass repeating upgrade work to comply with Java 5 later (there are much in already). +1 from me too. I don't forsee any negative vote for this, atleast. bye :-) Ashish Ranjan Scientist,CSIR,India [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED]

People just felt more comfortable with that. Do you think we are missing out on something ;-) ? Well, I can see a few potential issues with such mixed approach: - In order to contribute, people would have to learn both building technologies - Ant and make, someone may give up. I don't see a great advantage to asking people to learn 'cpptask' rather than 'make'. I would suggest that many more C programmers are familiar with 'make' already, so we are not asking them to learn something new. [snip] 'make' also simplifies the bootstrapping issue. When you are doing the initial port of the VM to a new platform, and you don't have java running yet, having your build instructions encoded in Ant is problematic. Relying on the availability of a previous java port to get the Harmony VM building seems like a questionable porting story. 'make' of one flavor or another is pretty much universally available, and seems like the pragmatic choice for building C code. Graeme Johnson J9 VM Team, IBM Canada.
Re: compiling JCHEVM with MSVC
if you want to build native executables with gcc on ms-windows platform, i will suggest to use MINGW (which is a gcc port to windows) and MSYS (which is a gnuish environment for your build, so that your makefiles and automake etc. will run). Hence goto www.mingw.org http://www.mingw.org and download- mingw, msys, msys-DTK and install it on MS-Windows and then give it a try. It will be easier to try with/work with/port with/maintain with. Just note that it is different from cygwin, which is an emulation layer. bye :-) Ashish Ranjan India [EMAIL PROTECTED] On 11/20/05, Archie Cobbs [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Enrico Migliore wrote: I'm compiling JCHEVM with MSVC. Hi Enrico, Unfortunately JCHEVM requires the GCC compiler right now. It would take some nontrivial work to port it to MSVC. Can you get access to a Linux or FreeBSD machine? In any case, this error: D:\projects\harmony-jcvm\jcvm\libjc\jc_invoke.c(81) : error C2059: syntax error : '[' I believe is not a GCC-specific issue... that syntax is a C99 extension to standard C (I believe).. for example: http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0494/c99.app.html#pgfId-1004206 Cheers, -Archie __ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com
