I've read on http://kjkoster.org/java/content/newarch.jsp that invokeNative_alpha.s needs to be done. Is this still true? What is the best jdk version to start with? I've also read on that page that we need a working jdk to bootstrap with an example on how to do this with help from another machine. Are there any ideas on how to handle this from ports? E.g. can we distribute a native bootstrap jdk binary like it's done for modula? -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de ticso@bwct.de info@bwct.de
