weldon washburn commented on HARMONY-1428:
------------------------------------------

Build problems when using the current svn HEAD:

1)
the APR header include path does not match up properly.  I put an echo statement in gc.xml:

        <echo> Using location=${extra.apr.includes}</echo>

and got:

         [echo]  Using location=C:\t_harmony\drlvm\trunk\build\win_ia32_msvc_debug\semis\extra\apr\include\apr-1

I fixed it by changing gc_platform.h:

///////////////// wjw #include <apr-1/apr_time.h>
///////////////// wjw #include <apr-1/apr_atomic.h>
#include <apr_time.h>
#include <apr_atomic.h>

2) 
there seems to be a problem with the threading headers ???  I get the following error messages:


build.native.cpp:
       [cc] 18 total files to be compiled.
       [cc] cl : Command line warning D4025 : overriding '/Ox' with '/Od'
       [cc] verify_live_heap.cpp
       [cc] fspace_alloc.cpp

> This archive has a couple of files implementing an early version of a trace-forward copying collector for GCv5. It's only a starter with very basic functionalities. It is a generational GC reqiures write barrier implemented in JIT. It was tested with JET, and ran SPECJBB2000 and SPECJVM98.
> The algorithm is depth-first tracing of From-space, and forwarding live objects to To-space (It can forward part of the From-space). The To-space has no real management except for the accomodation of forwarded objects and large objects. So the To-space is going to be replaced by a mark-compaction GC, and the large objects will be managed by a LOS GC. 
> In order to minimize the changes to other components of DRLVM, the codes here comply with the original contract between GCv4 and other components. I also borrowed some routine code from GCv4 to avoid repetitive labor work.
> GCv5 is under active development, so please expect quick and big changes to this submitted code base. I will submit new codes from time to time when they are worth a submission. Any comments or codes are more than welcome.
