In the thread "compiling JCHEVM with MSVC", Ashish Ranjan suggested to use MINGW and MSYS "to build native executables with gcc on ms-windows platform". Geir Magnusson Jr. suggested to create binary snapshots of the harmony stuff for people to play with. There was some more discussion about the problems with JCHEVM and MSVC.

There was some discussion about the build process in the thread "Code contribution to harmony" which was then renamed to "Building choices". Andrey Chernyshev posted some some potential issues with a mixed approach (using ant and make in the build process). Tim Ellison answered this concerns. Graeme Johnson gave a good argument for make: it makes the bootstrapping easier, since ant relies on an installed java system. As a reply in this thread, Stefano Mazzocchi wrote an interesting email called "Keeping Social Dynamics in Mind" where he writes which social impact such a choice can have (and some other interesting things).

Leo Simons replied that "you are more than welcome to do such 'sorting out' on this mailing list rather than just send out summaries when its done" so we can get more people involved in this discussion. Later this week, Stepan Mishura posted a summary of the integration issues, and Tim Ellison offered to help. [http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-harmony-dev/200511.mbox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] I started the thread "[jchevm] Porting JCHEVM to OSX/PPC" when I started to port JCHEVM to OSX because I had some questions. Archie Cobbs helped me with some of the issues.Steve Liao answered last weeks email from Kazuyuki Shudo with several technical details about separate jit threads vs. using application threads and simultanious jitting. Rodrigo Kumpera, who has offered to contribute a JVM he has written in Java some time ago, wrote about the status of this development and mentioned that he is still willing to contribute it but he wants to solve some problems before he does. At the moment there's a vote to accept HARMONY-14 into the sandbox running: "[vote] accept JIRA contribution HARMONY-14 (IBMs contribution of core classlib, native support and vm/classlib interface)", the result should be availiable next week.
