I agree the build system is somewhat cumbersome. However, in defense of our build system, it does a good job of not requiring end users to install additional tools to build Kaffe. On a stripped system, one should only need a basic Unix shell and utilities, a c compiler and linker, and the core development libraries (eg. libc, gmp, zlib) to get a working virtual machine. If people can get a working JVM going early on in the bootstrapping process, that enables them to use a huge number of Java-based build tools (eg. ant). The tradeoff is that in order to do this, we developers have to do more work, eg. autoconf, automake, libtool, etc. It makes life easier for the end users though, ultimately. Also, by using those tools, we can help to improve them for the rest of the free software community. Unfortunately, several more build-time dependencies have snuck in than I'd like, eg. we need GNU tar due to some long filenames, and I think we have some gcc'isms. I think there is room to add additional tools to the build process that are meant to be used in "maintainer mode" only. eg. I'd like to use ant and XSLT in the documentation generation process. BTW, I'm a big fan of ant -- instead of trying to be a language, it just concentrates on defining the core tasks that form the basis of the build system, but still leaves the option open to define additional tasks using Java code. Of course, ant requires a JVM to run, so it's of little use in bootstrapping a JVM. Being able to cross-compile Kaffe is important as well.

SCons is an Open Source software construction tool--that is, a build tool; an improved substitute for the classic Make utility; a better way to build software. What makes SCons better? * Configuration files are Python scripts--use the power of a real programming language to solve build problems. * Reliable, automatic dependency analysis built-in for C, C++ and Fortran--no more "make depend" or "make clean" to get all of the dependencies. Dependency analysis is easily extensible through user-defined dependency Scanners for other languages or file types. * Built-in support for C, C++, Java, Fortran, Yacc, Lex, Qt and SWIG, and building TeX and LaTeX documents. Easily extensible through user-defined Builders for other languages or file types. * Built-in support for fetching source files from SCCS, RCS, CVS, BitKeeper and Perforce. * Built-in support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and past Visual Studio versions, including generation of .dsp, .dsw, .sln and .vcproj files. * Reliable detection of build changes using MD5 signatures; optional, configurable support for traditional timestamps. * Improved support for parallel builds--like make -j but keeps N jobs running simultaneously regardless of directory hierarchy. * Integrated Autoconf-like support for finding #include files, libraries, functions and typedefs. * Global view of all dependencies--no more multiple build passes or reordering targets to build everything. * Building from central repositories of source code and/or pre-built targets. * Ability to share built files in a cache to speed up multiple builds. * Designed from the ground up for cross-platform builds, and known to work on Linux, other POSIX systems (including AIX, *BSD systems, HP/UX, IRIX and Solaris), Windows NT, Mac OS X, and OS/2. Best of all: all of the features mentioned above are here today, they work, and they're stable. We ensure that today's functionality isn't broken by tomorrow's release through rigorous use of a development methodology that adds incrementally to an extensive set of regression tests: non-comment lines of test code outnumber lines of production code by more than 2 to 1. (it does exist in Debian ;) but may be a little bit out of date) Cheers, -- Arnaud Vandyck, STE fi, ULg Formateur Cellule Programmation. ___ kaffe mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://kaffe.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kaffe

I really really hate teh build system :-( At least something ... I'm glad it at least kind of works for you now. If the problem is in the building of class library, just send me a message, and I'll put a distribution online on kaffe.org/~robilad from the current sources. Distribution have the nice property that you don;t have to rebuild the class library.
