A quick search showed that there is a Linux mailing list and an Ftp site
for the linux work. substance.blackdown.org:/pub/Java/linux
There was a reference to Nat Williams for porting the Sun-style Makefiles
to gnu-style Makefiles. So I am wondering if anyone out there
is holding back info on the current java port for FreeBSD :)
Amancio
I've been trying to feel this out myself over the last couple of days.
There have been no messages on the java-porting list about FreeBSD
since you kind of said you gave up, Amancio. If no one speaks up, I'm
just about committed to spending 2 months full time on such a project
starting Aug. 1.
It's a daunting task. Never mind the Sparc assembly code, which seems
to be mostly gratuitous except for some code that flushes register
windows. There are a *lot* of dependencies on the Sparc register set,
stack layout, Solaris threads, etc.... Ah, well. I can never resist
a grungy language port.
