Two small bowls of rice

[garym at sos.on.ca]

In the I Ching, the question is raised of what one might give
in return for greatness.  The answer: Even just two small bowls
of rice.  Here then is my humble offering to the kaffe masters ;)

I have cobbled two scripts and made a change to my basic Kaffe
installation.  If these are useful to anyone, you are most welcome
to them.

First, I install the kaffe and kaffeh binaries in
/usr/local/share/kaffe/bin, and in /usr/local/bin create these
as symlinks to .kaffe_wrapper, a near clone of .java_wrapper
(see below).  Second, I have made similar changes to the kaffe
appletviewer script (also below) to enable switching between
kaffe, java and jdb versions.

enjoy!

.kaffe_wrapper --------------------------------
#! /bin/bash

# Set up default variable values if not supplied by the user.

PRG=`type -p $0` >/dev/null 2>&1
J_HOME=/usr/local/java

if [ -z "$KAFFEHOME" ] ; then
   export KAFFEHOME
   KAFFEHOME=$K_HOME
fi

if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ] ; then
    export JAVA_HOME
    JAVA_HOME=$J_HOME

CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH-.}"
if [ -z "${CLASSPATH}" ] ; then
    CLASSPATH="$K_HOME/biss.zip:$J_HOME/classes:$J_HOME/lib/classes.zip"

export CLASSPATH

if [ -f $prog ]
then
    eval exec $prog $opts '"$@"'
else
    echo >&2 "$progname was not found in ${prog}"
    exit 1
fi

appletviewer --------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
# 1997 by garym at sos.on.ca
# note: -trace is for kaffe _only_
prog=kaffe
for a in $* ; do
    case "$a" in 
    -debug) prog=jdb    ;;
    -trace) args="$args -debug" ;;
    -jdk)   prog=java   ;;

   esac
done

# Script to run Sun's appletviewer using Kaffe.
eval exec $prog sun.applet.AppletViewer $args
