<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I am starting to work with KAFFE (to port to LynxOS), but I wanted to test on Linux first.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">To start with, I am using a CVS checkout from yesterday (8/5/2004) from HEAD:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">When I configure the system with no AWT support, and build on RedHat 9 (with autoconf 2.59-3 installed) and I do a make check I get two errors:</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">First, finalexc.java fails. The finalexc.fail reads:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Internal error: caught an unexpected exception.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Please check your CLASSPATH and your installation.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">java/lang/NullPointerException</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Looks like it threw an exception from within the finalize block.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Also, a second error was in the BeanBug.java but that should fail, since I disabled AWT support and the test class tries to use an AWT class. I did not see any support in the Makefile.in to exclude this test when AWT is not included. I'd be willing to do this, but I am not sure of any conventions that are currently being used to support this type of activity. Or, do people rather see the failure and accept that they caused it when they configured kaffe a certain way?</FONT></P>
