Now to get exception handling with gcc-2.8.1 from the porst dristribution working on FreeBSD defined in defaults.h: #define DWARF2_UNWIND_INFO 0 ^^^ which was 1 before. If I am not mistaken the above sets the exception handling to something like -fsjlj-exceptions. Currently working on porting Netscape's Electric Fire to FreeBSD. "EF" is a very cool java vm which translates java classes straight to machine instructions 8) If you are interested on EF see: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/ef Cheers, Amancio To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
