If you want to hack on GNU Classpath it will make things easier if you
have the following installed:
- GNU autoconf 2.13
- GNU automake 1.4
- GNU libtool 1.3.3
- Kaffe 1.0.5+
- GTK 1.2
- IBM jikes 1.0.9+
If you start from the current CVS version, you will have to run the
following from the toplevel directory.
aclocal; autoheader; automake; autoconf
Next you run configure. Options you'll probably want to specify
include --with-jikes, --with-javah={path to kaffeh},
--with-classlib={path to Klasses.jar}
Eventually jikes should contain a patch for placing .u (dependency
files) where -d would also place class files.
The following is a rough list of tasks which need to be completed:
* Port to new platforms. Most of us develop on GNU/Linux so
our platform support may not be up to par.
* java.awt.image needs to be stubbed out.
* java.awt does not work yet.
* java.math needs some work.
* GNU Classpath needs to work with Kaffe. There is
documentation on the efforts made to originally make
Classpath work with Japhar in docs/ and on the web-site.
* Update the web-site
* Make multiple 'dist' targets for different packages
including java.awt, java.lang, etc. but also for
gnu.java.awt.peer.gtk.
* Fix the build so that distributions won't have the same high
requires as CVS. Shouldn't be much left to do this.
* Create configure, etc. for the swing project.
* There are compiling errors located in lib/errors.txt (you
have to try compiling first).
* native compilation for the gtk peers is failing and needs to
be fixed.
If you have any questions, suggestions, etc., send them to
<classpath@gnu.org>.
