You have to do that before it's going to work or replicate that work yourself. The primordial thread is working because that's just calling main(), but the rest of the threading infrastructure must be glue to pthreads (or something like that) in a very careful manner. The linux threading stuff that your port is based on is pretty bogus and won't work without serious modification. Specifically, the same kind of modifications I did to HotSpot. That's why you should be using or merging in those patches. It's not trivial work to mess around with the internals of this compiler and I was very careful about making sure everything works as advertized including the threading system, which was all extremely tedious work. Hopefully, the differences between the 1.3.1 and 1.4 HotSpot JITs aren't too different. bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
