I ferreted around on his web site at one point and managed to find some diffs for jdk 1.2 to get it to work on the Alpha. Unfortunately, these diffs contain changes to the Makefiles like: +ifeq ($(ARCH),alpha) +ARCHNAME = alpha +FILES.s += threadStart_alpha.s read_fpcr.s write_fpcr.s # invokeNative_alpha.s +FILES.s += invokeNative_alpha.s +FILES.c += machgc_nonsparc.c executeJava.c FPE_alpha.c +CFLAGS_COMMON += -mieee +else but do not contain the extra files themselves (e.g. invokeNative_alpha.s). Which is of course the things that we need :(. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
