This is the first release of "Kaffe OpenVM", a complete virtual machine and class library set which allows the execution of Java code without any code from Javasoft. It comes with a virtual machine and a set of class libraries including beans, and the all important AWT graphics system. Running Kaffe ============= Before running Kaffe it is necessary to configure the environment. This requires the setting of PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For the standard installation these would be defined as follows: PATH=$PATH:/${PREFIX}/bin LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${PREFIX}/lib You can run "sh ${PREFIX}/share/kaffe/ENVIRONMENT" to have these set for you. Note that you don't have to setup the CLASSPATH - if you do then that's fine, but if you don't Kaffe will cosntruct a classpath from the Jar and Zip files it finds in the standard places (the default would be to include all files in ${PREFIX}/share/kaffe). The value ${PREFIX} above is whatever LOCALBASE is set to in the environment, or in /etc/mk.conf, when the package was installed on NetBSD. By default this is /usr/pkg. What's in there =============== For further info see the file README that comes with the distribution. ---- * Java and Javasoft are registered trademark of Sun Microsystems, Inc. * Kaffe, and Kaffe OpenVM are registered trademarks of Transvirtual Technologies, Inc.
