From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: "Anthony Green" To: Cc: "Java@Gcc. Gnu. Org" Subject: rhug status Date: Mon, 03 Sep 2001 23:42:00 -0000 Message-id: <003201c1350d$43ac5920$5be6b4cd@cygnus.com> X-SW-Source: 2001-09/msg00003.html I did some hacking on http://sources.redhat.com/rhug this weekend. * The most exciting thing was getting output from Tomcat. This is a big program that excercises a lot of code, including xerces. It appears to serve up static pages ok. Attempting to run a servlet from a .class file results in a NullPointerException from javax.servlet.GenericServlet.log(java.lang.String) -- although it kindly reports this in a nice web page and continues running. It looks like it's creating the appropriate log files, but never writes anything to them. For the Red Hat guys, I've left the server up tonight at http://fencer.cygnus.com:8080/examples . * Switched to automake 1.5. * I spend a fair bit of time hacking on the gnu.regexp configury, trying to figure out the best way to build, and install the .so, .jar, headers, etc. There's a primitive "make check" as well. * I added some of the Xerces sample programs to check_PROGRAMS, and they run fine by hand. Getting them to run with "make check" is next. * Xalan builds and says semi-intelligent stuff now. It builds two command line programs (xsltc and xsltp). The "gcj -R" patches I submitted this weekend are used throughout the tree. Tomcat also requires the iso8859_1 runtime patch. There are about 12 Makefile.in files adding up to almost 6MB! The largest, rhug/xalan/Makefile.in, is about 1.9MB. It would be great to get some help. Just check it out and try building... Thanks! AG
