You could start by looking at the set of patches that Greg Lewis has put up of the FreeBSD Java port team's work (which includes my Alpha changes as well). The most pressing issue would be to get an Alpha version of invokeNative_alpha.s written. I think other than that piece of assembly code it is just a matter of ironing out any 32 vs. 64 bit 'isms that we may have introduced with our FreeBSD-specific changes. http://www.eyesbeyond.com/freebsd-jdk122-patches-latest.tar.gz Also the Blackdown folks are rumored to have some patches for the Alpha, but the last time I checked they weren't much more than a sprinkling of cruft that nowhere near represented a full-blown port. -steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
