SableVM + GNU Classpath available in "staging" branch.

[Etienne Gagnon]

Hi there,

Usually, we have daily SVN (Subversion) snapshots and publicly accessible
Subversion repository:

 See http://sablevm-shot.dyndns.org/ for snapshots and INSTALL.txt

But, the machine died yesterday, so *.tar.gz snapshots will be unavailable
for a very short while (a day or two).  You you can retrieve a snapshot
directly out of the Subversion repository.

Our latest snapshot of the "staging" branch of sablevm & sablevm classpath
include a merge with GNU Classpath 0.07.  [Along with many other things, like
very recent (yesterday) change of default PowerPC interpreter engine to
inline-threaded].

To get the snapshit, you simply need to install Subversion
(http://subeversion.tigris.org/) [Debian: "apt-get install subversion"], then
you can type:

$ svn co svn://svn.sablevm.org/sablevm/branches/staging sablevm
$ svn co svn://svn.sablevm.org/sablevm-classpath/branches/staging 
sablevm-classpath
$ cd sablevm
$ ./autogen.sh
$ cd ../sablevm-staging
$ ./autogen.sh
$ cd ..


That's it.  From there, if you want to build sablevm, you can follow
David Belanger's instructions (exception: DO NOT SET JVM_REFERENCE) in:
 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=3519087&forum_id=4154

Note that to get David's build_classpath script, you should type the
following:

$ svn cat 
svn://svn.sablevm.org/developers/belanger/sandbox/sablejit-classpath/bin/build_classpath
 > build_classpath
$ chmod u+x build_classpath

If you modify sablevm or sablevm-classpath, you can extract a patch
file by doing the following:


$ svn info
## please include the output of "svn info" in your message to the
## sablevm-devel mailing list.
$ svn diff > patchfile
## attach patchfile to your message to the sablevm-developer mailing-list


Have fun!

Etienne
