Is it working now? How about 64-bit platforms? Thanks! Eric (anholt@) took over the maintainership of the port and the latest version is assumed to be (I don't use it much myself) a full-featured Java 1.4 implementation. With javavmwrapper support now available, it means you can just: $ JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/kaffe java <args> and have your Java application run with Kaffe. Better yet, you can just export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/kaffe and have all javavmwrapper compliant applications (most of the apps from the ports tree) run with Kaffe (but I can't assure that they will run fine, though). Hence, you should be at least able to test Jode. Regarding the amd64 support, I would say that it should work, given the: ONLY_FOR_ARCHS= i386 amd64 and also the fact that The changelog for the latest version mentions stuff about 64bit support (IIRC). Ask Eric for more info on Kaffe. I am sorry I am no expert here. Herve PS: regarding Jode, I think we should update the port to forbid JDK 1.5. USE_JAVA= yes JAVA_VERSION= 1.2 1.3 1.4 The port is on my "bsd.java.mk 1.0 hunting" list, so you would have received a message in the near future regarding this anyway :)
