kaffe.1.0b2.2.README October 16, 1998 file: kaffe.1.0b2.2.I.b.tar.gz desc: kaffe 1.0b2 i386-nextstep3 binary package from www.transvirtual.com sum: 35294 2235 md5sum: faf721486aa2203294a14296d17f0114 The archive (most likely) will be located at ftp://ftp.peak.org/pub/next/apps/internet/www/java http://www.peak.org/next/apps/internet/www/java OVERVIEW This is a packaged up copy of the i386-nextstep3 kaffe binary that is available from transvirtual. I've done a bit of minor editing here and there, including adding awt support (via X11 interface), provided you have an X server to display to (like co-Xist, Cub'X, or Xnext) From kaffe's source README: ======================= KAFFE OpenVM 1.0 Beta 2 ======================= This is of "Kaffe OpenVM", a complete virtual machine and class library set which allows the execution of Java code without any code from Javasoft. It comes with a virtual machine and a set of class libraries including beans, and the all important AWT graphics system. INSTALLATION This is an Installer.app style package, use /NextAdmin/Installer.app to install to /usr/local NOTES I did not build this version of kaffe, it is a binary I downloaded from transvirtual. I have personally been unable to successfully build any version of kaffe since v0.9.0 (up to and including THIS version 1.0b2). So, don't ask me how to build it from source, 'cause I don't know. (-; When kaffe looks for loadable libraries, it will sometimes print out annoying diagnostic messages about failed load attempts. CHANGELOG Oct 16, 1998 (1.0b2 pkg #2) * Bad libnative.o caused dynamic loading to fail, fixed. Oct 15, 1998 (1.0b2 pkg #1) * First attempt CREDITS Package Creation Rex Dieter Computer System Manager Universtity of Nebraska-Lincoln Department of Mathematics and Statistics http://www.math.unl.edu/~rdieter/ kaffe: http://www.transvirtual.com/ ftp://ftp.transvirtual.com/pub/kaffe/ More NEXT info http://www.mathi.uni-heidelberg.de/STEPkaffe/
