All,
Well I'm back, so its time to stop sitting back doing nothing ;-) and provide me with those status updates please. How far have you got? anyone got nothing to do? that sort of thing.

Hi Mark,
Your returns are just as dreaded as Rose's big stick ;-)
No progress on Cacao or Kaffe (to speak of). I am trying to configure each of them to build and run under OS4 on an AmigaOne. They use more or less the same configure script, which does not recognise PPC and amigaos in the same breath.
Also we have a problem that abc-shell can't "fork" properly and runs out of stack eventually.
Working on it.
cheers

... Also we have a problem that abc-shell can't "fork" properly and runs out of stack eventually.
bugreports would be usefull (has not got any since the latest release - except one by one of the other members of the abc-shell team)... if you are trying to work on it, has the sources just been updated yesterday.

Could be even worse for some: somebody wants to turn me into a project manager :D
Anyway, it occurred to me that some of you might be interested in, if not meeting, then at least sending on a message to Carl Sassenrath, who will be wandering into my hunting grounds on 8-9th July with his charming wife.
Maybe we could even worm a few programming tips out of him ;)
(If anyone asks who Carl Sassenrath is, he'd better have comprehensive, paid-up medical insurance)

LOL, be thankfull I didnt accept the offer of an automated, regular re-ocurring "Big Stick"

OK Keep us informed, will we need much of ClassPath for Kaffe (or even Cacao)? and if so looking at the docs we would need gcj to compile it?

D'oh, well get Henning on it ;-)

it is hard to "fix a bug" without a bugreport... I don't know any forking problems with abc-shell, so without a bugreport telling me how to find it, is it not possible to fix it.
@Tony: any information?

Mate, I know how difficult it is, and I apologise for blaming it on you. The symptom was that when I tried to run the "configure" script for Kaffe, Cacao or GMP, it would get only so far before crashing. I ket on raising the stack and it got further each time - so I thought it was running out of stack.
I currently have the stack at 5 MB and it gets nearly all the way through the Kaffe script, but I've run into other problems that are not associated with abc-shell, and I am chasing them at the moment.
So I have to get over these other problems before I can get back to using the shell to execute scripts. Currently I don't have any reason to suspect the shell.
Question: what happens when the script (being executed by sh) comes across a recursive call to sh? Is any part of the existing shell's stack used for the new shell or its local data? In short, can there be a limit to the depth of shells imposed by the stack size?
cheers

I believe classpath is fairly portable, or at least has been ported by Peter on the JAMiga project, if that's of use to anyone...
