[kaffe] Porting Kaffe to the NAS Server TS-101 of QNAP

[Sergio Gómez Zapatero]

Hello.

I'm trying to port kaffe to the NAS Server TS-101 of QNAP. This is a mini Network Attached Storage (NAS) barebone system which supports SATA disk. It supports many valuable software functions like File Server, Backup Server, FTP Server, Web Server and Remote Replication.
NAS Server hat a powerpc system with a 2.6.12.3 Linux version.

First, I tried to configure kaffe with the command: $./configure --prefix=/jvm/kaffe/powerpc
I got the error: "Can't find or can't use system zlib.h"

Second, I have found the path of the library, so I tried with this: $./configure --prefix=/jvm/kaffe/powerpc --with-includes=/usr/include/linux --with-libraries=/usr/include/linux.
And I got the error:

...
checking semaphore.h usability... no
checking semaphore.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: semaphore.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: semaphore.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: semaphore.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: semaphore.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: semaphore.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result
configure: WARNING: semaphore.h: in the future, the compiler will take precedence
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------ ##
configure: WARNING:     ## Report this to kaffe at kaffe.org ##
configure: WARNING:     ## ------------------------------ ##
checking for semaphore.h... yes
checking for working semaphores... not implemented
configure: error: Missing library libpthread, read FAQ/FAQ.pthreads

So, I report this WARNING to kaffe.org. Maybe it help in the develop for the future releases and even maybe it help for the solution of my error in the future.

Thank you very much for you attention.

Regards,
                    Sergio
