Hi all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I started some time ago working on a meta-ebuild for a SableVM SDK but |
| 4 |
I was then limited in time and never quite complete it. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
Meanwhile the SableVM upstream started integrating various tools to |
| 7 |
provide a full SDK. The goal of SableVM upstream is to make SableVM, |
| 8 |
its deps and 3rd party addition (gjdoc, fastjar, ...) easy to install |
| 9 |
on several systems. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
So I dropped work on the individual gjdoc, fastjar, ... ebuilds for now. |
| 12 |
I will still keep them on gentooexperimental.org as some users might |
| 13 |
want fastjar but not sablevm-sdk. But I will concentrate on the |
| 14 |
upstream-provided SDK instead of redoing the work. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Ebuild is here, take the version 1.12, the other one is the old |
| 17 |
meta-package implementation: |
| 18 |
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/gentoo-java-experimental/dev-java/sablevm-sdk/ |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
It would be good if some people could test it out. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Things to consider: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
libffi - starting from 1.12, SableVM provides its own implementation of |
| 25 |
libffi. If the internal is used, it will be compiled into |
| 26 |
libsablevm (and not installed as a separate lib). |
| 27 |
I have a libffi flag to say to use the system installed one. |
| 28 |
Alternatively, I could remove that flag and always use the |
| 29 |
internal or external one. libffi is small and I think |
| 30 |
libffi maintainer was at some point considering the removal |
| 31 |
of the libffi stand-alone ebuild.- need to investigate this. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
bootstrap issue: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
SableVM includes gjdoc. |
| 36 |
gjdoc depends on antlr. |
| 37 |
antlr depends on a Java SDK. |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
I added a USE flag: nogjdoc that disable the installation of gjdoc, |
| 40 |
removing the dependency on antlr. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
So if the user do not have antlr installed and want to compile |
| 43 |
antlr with SableVM SDK, he or she will have to build SableVM SDK |
| 44 |
twice - once with USE=nogjdoc and once without. Upgrading SableVM SDK |
| 45 |
should not be an issue as antlr will have already been installed. |
| 46 |
Any other solution? |
| 47 |
