------------------------------------------

Hi guys,

I've made some progress towards a fully functional port for Mac OS X. Here is a rough patch that makes Harmony build successfully on Mac OS X 10.5 (see full environment in the attached verbose build log). It has been produced on branches/java6. I expect to be able to also port it to 10.6 once I get the chance.

It is still rough because I tried to keep it minimal and clean, but there were some parts where I was sure there was a better, canonical, way of doing things, so I left them out.

It builds successfully but fails trying to call hythread_allocate_library. I think it's mostly due to my still limited understanding of the interaction between the stub threadlib and the 'real' one ("hy.skip.thr" and friends). I will also attach the wrapper scripts I use to build.

Running ./java in the resulting JRE bin directory gives the following output (sorry for the lame printf's):


queinnec@pasiphae:/usr/local/src/harmony-java6-trunk/target/hdk/jdk/jre/bin$ ./java -version
PMQ - #2
PMQ - hyport_init_library#1
PMQ - hyport_create_library#4
PMQ - hyport_init_library#2 rc=0

Trace/BPT trap


Interestingly I had to comment the version check in classlib/modules/portlib/src/main/native/port/shared/hyport.c. There are probably some hunks in the patch that could be applied to the trunk :
- classlib/modules/portlib/src/main/native/port/unix/makefile
- drlvm/vm/jitrino/src/codegenerator/ia32/Ia32CodeSelector.cpp (but I am C++-clueless)

Cheers!

> Actually neither Sun nor Apple provide support for Java 1.6 on Leopard (OS X 10.6) while this release has been available for 11 months. The major migration issue will be the integration with the Cocoa framework (based on Objective-C 2.0). At this point however, a working version within the X11 environment would be a good starting point.
