Paul, thanks for the help. However, I still seem to be stuck. Let me try a
few basic questions that might simplify this. At this point, I just want to
get my old stuff working on the new system. Thus, I don't really care if I
have Java support right now. Can I, with minimal porting changes, take my
old simulation and port to 2.0.1 without using Java? I think from what I've
read the answer is yes and I do that with the -disable-jar switch on the
configure. I'm assuming that later, when I want to get into the java stuff,
I can add support at that time - probably along with a swarm upgrade.
Next, in your FAQ you refer to installing swarm in an "out of the way place"
like /usr/local/swarm - mine is /usr/local/swarm-2.0.1. Is there an
"easier" place to put it?
I tried './configure -with-defaultdir=/usr -disable-jar' and also added
-enable-subdirs as you suggested. Nevertheless, I still get
*** No rule to make target '../defobj/types.h', needed by 'Array.lo'.
as an error. In doing some digging, the '../defobj/types.h' is in the
collections Makefile as a result of being in the Makefile.in - I think. Is
there some configure setting that will result in an update of the
Makefile.in? Or, if I place the swarm source in an "easier" place can I
avoid this problem?
Thanks again for the help!

In the FAQ, since last week, there is a "installing
Swarm2.0" section
that will clear some of this up.
On your system, the "defaultdir" has to be specified as
/usr, because
there is where all the stuff is currently installed. If you
want to
change where you install it, you change the prefix. You
need to specify
the jdkdir and install jikes to compile.
JAR=/usr/local/jdk1.2/bin/jar JAVAC=jikes ./configure
--with-defaultdir=/usr
--disable-static --prefix=/usr/local --with-jdkdir=/usr
If you don't have the JAR program installed somewhere, you
need to add
another configure option, I think it is --disable-jar. This
will install
swarm includes and libes directly into /usr/local/include
and
/usr/local/lib. If you want the swarm subdir under that, add
the option
--enable-subdirs.
Alex made RPMS, you can get them on the sfi ftp site. I'm
going to make
RPMS for i586 and i686 architectures that support either
kaffe and the
blackdown JDK.
