Jim, it would help if you told us what the output of configure is, what's in the config.log file, whether you're cross-compiling or not, etc., etc. If you're cross-compiling, you have to set the size of things --- see config/arm/linux/config.frag for an example. For ld etc., check your $path. Set $LD if necessary. - Godmar There's no need to cc kaffe@transvirtual.com when sending mail to kaffe@rufus.w3.org as these are the same lists. > > > I am trying to update the port of kaffe for machten 4.1.1 to the > 1.0b4 release. having some problems with the configure script. > > 1. size of short, int, long, long long.. all come up as 0 > > 2. when it checks for ld it can not find it despite fact that machten > uses gnu ld. path is > /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-apple-machten4/2.8.1/ld > > if i force path to be /usr/bin (which is a softlink to above path) all is well. > > > well lets start with this. i can kludge configure to make these come > out right but would like to knwo the right way to do them. > > thanks jim > At a recent computer software engineering course in the US, the participants > were given an awkward question to answer.
