[kaffe] Kaffe 1.1.6 - early crash on MIPS architecture

[Cantarini Fabio, IT]

Dear All,

I am new to running kaffe JVM on embedded system (linux 2.6 / MIPS).

I configured the following:

KAFFE_ENGINE=intrp
KAFFE_THREADS=unix-jthreads
KAFFE_GC=kaffe-gc

I compiled kaffe rel. 1.1.6 but encountered blocking issues:

1. The build fails in file pkg/kaffe/config/mips/sysdepCallMethod.h cause to unexpected definition of _MIPS_SIM.
    This fault statement is executed:

	#error "Calling convention not specified"

    I got a successfull compilation by commentig out the #error directive and including the o32-sysdepCallMethod.h.
    But please help about a proper solution for this.


2. running kaffe bin command on a test "Hello World" class always terminates with generic diagnostic like:

	Internal error: caught an unexpected exception.
	Please check your CLASSPATH and your installation.

    After inspecting the C code, I see that the problem is in the function initialiseSecurity() (kaffevm/classMethod.c).
    Here is created a java.security.Permissions object and an attempt is made to call the Java add() method on it

	do_execute_java_method(NULL, permissions, "add", "L(java/security/Permission;)V", NULL, 0, allPermission);

    but this aways fails by SIGSEGV.


Could someone please advise about getting a working kaffe JVM on MIPS ?

Thanks to all
Kind Regards

Fabio C.
