Hi Kevin,

We received the mail below on the ABCL list. I think the diff is relevant to J. The remarks regarding building ABCL with the Lisp variant is definitely relevant to the ABCL project.

Bye,

Erik.

All,

I downloaded the latest version of J a couple of days ago (J version 0.23.0) and had some difficulties getting it to compile using java-6-sun's compiler version 1.6 update 20.  Here are the modifications I made to LispShell.java to get it to compile cleanly against a fresh build of the newest abcl (ver 0.19.1, though I don't think it matters):

diff -c /home/fpp/src/tmp/j-0.23.0/src/org/armedbear/j/LispShell.java /home/fpp/src/j-0.23.0/src/org/armedbear/j/LispShell.java *** /home/fpp/src/tmp/j-0.23.0/src/org/armedbear/j/LispShell.java 2010-04-03 15:04:08.000000000 -0400 --- /home/fpp/src/j-0.23.0/src/org/armedbear/j/LispShell.java   2010-05-22 18:42:29.963613502 -0400 *************** *** 110,120 ****            }          else            { !             File lispHome = File.getInstance(Site.getLispHome());              if (lispHome == null)                return null; // FIXME Error message? !             File swankLoader = File.getInstance(lispHome, !                                                 "swank-loader.lisp");              if (swankLoader == null)                return null; // FIXME Error message?              if (shellCommand.indexOf("sbcl") >= 0 --- 110,121 ----            }          else            { !           Pathname lispHome = (Pathname)Site.getLispHome();              if (lispHome == null)                return null; // FIXME Error message? !             File swankLoader = File.getInstance( ! Pathname.mergePathnames(lispHome, ! new Pathname("swank-loader.lisp")));              if (swankLoader == null)                return null; // FIXME Error message?              if (shellCommand.indexOf("sbcl") >= 0 *************** *** 902,908 ****                  sb.append(" -Xmx256M");                  if (Platform.isPlatformUnix())                    { !                     Pathname lispHome = org.armedbear.lisp.Site.getLispHome();                      if (lispHome != null)                        {                          sb.append(" -Xrs -Djava.library.path="); --- 903,909 ----                  sb.append(" -Xmx256M");                  if (Platform.isPlatformUnix())                    { !                     Pathname lispHome = (Pathname)org.armedbear.lisp.Site.getLispHome();                      if (lispHome != null)                        {                          sb.append(" -Xrs -Djava.library.path=");

I hope it's helpful.  I was unable to get abcl to compile cleanly using the lisp build method.  It failed with messages telling me that it, variously, could not autoload load or that it could not load 'system'.  When I used ant I had no problems.

Best wishes on an excellent project.

Sincerely, Frank Pursel
