Hello Peter,
Been a long time since we communicated on this issue. I wasn't able to
look into the Kaffe Custom Edition for some time. But this is what I have
been able to do in the last few days.
I read thru the whole structure of Kaffe.
This is what I have done.
kaffe-19990929 untarred in the following
/root/kaffe-19990929
|
|+ build-gnu
|
|
|+ build-smx-vc++
|
|
|-+ build-win32-vc++
|
|
|-+ build-wince-vc++
|
|
|-+ src
Did the necessary modification to the Makefile in
/root/kaffe-19990929/build-gnu/libraries/clib/awt
so that Kaffe uses the framebuffer instead of X11.(Please have a look at
the Makefile attachement). For this, I have installed the GRX2.3 graphics
library. The test progs of GRX works just fine and also the REGRESSION in
kaffe works fine. But when I run a simple AWT based application it give
the following ERROR. I have attached the AFrame.java file also.
[root@fobar awt]# kaffe AFrame
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: [exception was
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: [exception was
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: [exception was
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: [exception was
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: awt
at AFrame.main(12)
Could you point out as to where I have goofed up?
Awaiting reply...please reply asap as I will be going on my one month
vacation and need to produce some kind of result before that.
Wish you a Merry X'mas.
Rgds,
Ganesh.

Ganesh,
Please contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] to learn more about the Custom ed. With
respect to the "standalone AWT" (the one which doesn't use a native windowing
system), I can give you more technical infos.
This thing is a complete AWT (including some optional, customizable desktop
functionality), which is based on a macro interface to a standard 2D
graphics library (typically contains about 1500 loc), looking like this:
...
/*
* Draw line
* gr Graphics object used for drawing
* x0,y0start point
* x1,y1end point
*/
#define LINE_DRAW(_gr,_x0,_y0,_x1,_y1) \
MGL_lineCoord( _x0,_y0,_x1,_y1)
...
My reference platform for initial development has been GRX (because it was
avail for DOS, Linux svgalib and X), but there have been other ports, too
(Allegro, for instance). I'm currently in the process of porting it to MGL.
New ports typically take about 4 weeks, depending on the development platform
and the target lib.
The whole AWT is a JNI lib, with nativ state caching for increased performance.
