[kaffe] kaffe-1.0.7 building for powerpc

[alain desire njike kamdoum]

Hi People I don't know if you have already solved the problem.i think you 
first have to build kaffe on your Host system and then set the environment 
variable kaffeh to the path of the executive kaffeh(On your Host) I've 
successfully buildt Kaffe on poweer PC following these instructions:

1-Kaffe need a locally executable "kaffeh" in order to be cross-compiled.So 
first build Kaffee for the host system:
  a) ./configure --prefix=....
  b) make
  c) make install

2- Now Kaffe can be configured and croos-compiled

  a) CC=powerpc-linux-gcc
     AS=powerpc-linux-as
     LD=powerpc-linux-ld
     KAFFEH=PREFIX/bin/kaffeh
     ./configure --prefix=...  --target=powerpc-linux   --host=powerpc-linux 
--with-headers=.. --with-libs=-- with-engine=intrp --without-x (I didn't try 
it with-engine=jit )

   b) open config.cache and paste the right values  of 
int,short,..,alignment of voidp

    ac_cv_sizeof___int64=${ac_cv_sizeof___int64=0}
    ac_cv_sizeof_int=${ac_cv_sizeof_int=4}
    ac_cv_sizeof_long=${ac_cv_sizeof_long=4}
    ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=${ac_cv_sizeof_long_long=8}
    ac_cv_sizeof_short=${ac_cv_sizeof_short=2}
    ac_cv_sizeof_voidp=${ac_cv_sizeof_voidp=4}
    ac_cv_alignmentof_voidp=${ac_cv_alignmentof_voidp=4}

   c) run configure again
   d) make
   e) make install

I think it coulf help you

Best regards
