Hi,
I have now updated to build process so that it now compiles the
java tools (which includes javac) as well.
I have uploaded the latest binaries on haikuware.com again.
Also, you can now directly compile harmony from ant, provided you have
harmony binaries to run ant.
This takes care of the chicken-and-egg problem of using ant to build
harmony when you don't have java available in the first place.
I have tested this by using the harmony binaries to compile the harmony
sources sucessfully.
However, there are a few issues:
1. This release would still work only with a post-Alpha3 installation.
This is because of the better pthread API support post -Alpha3.
2. Also, you will need a gcc4 or hybrid installation, as this release is
compiled with gcc4.
There was some issues with the preprocessor macros that prevented me
from compiling for gcc2 .
3. Although harmony on haiku normally runs fine, it sporadically hangs
up on longer runs and doesn't exit cleanly when you kill it . I ran into
this issue when when running ant.
Which would usually finish normally, but would sometimes hang up in the
middle. The threads start yielding and never stop doing that. So I would
have to kill and restart build process.
I think the current source URL will not hold up well as it is currently
set up on my home NAS.
I think we should move it to a free repository online, like github, or
whichever place seems more suitable to the interested people.
The interested people could take commit rights to the new repository and
the maintainers
of the Haiku project could help decide who should get them.
Also, There is a GCI task for creating a Haikuport that is yet to be
submitted which has me and Jack Laxson as mentos. We could finalise and
submit it so we can have a student build a Haikuport
that can be used by interested folks.
Regards,
Dhruwat
