[Lehner, Michael] Good morning, I read in the crossgcc-mailing list, that you try to run Java on a MIPS target. I am working on the same problem, but it is a mips64 in my case. But I think we nevertheless could profit of each others experiences. You are not running a java-VM on the MIPS I think, because its to big. Is this right? So you want to use your toolchain to compile your java-code to native machine code. First I should tell you, that you will have to expect lots of problems and you will have to change some of the input files. I hope you know the basics of C. I used the newest stable sources (binutils-2.17, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4 [2.5 made more Problems and I was not sure if it is a stable release], glibc-ports-2.4, linux-libc-headers-2.6.12.0, glibc-linuxthreads-2.5, gdb-6.4). Yesterday, after about 2 weeks of work, I had the first working toolchain (with java) on my machine. But I first started only with c and c++ because I expected extra problems with java and I was right. It was about 1.5 weeks to get c and c++ an then (with the help of my new skills I got from the first one) I needed another half week for java. But this does not mean, that I now can execute java-code on my machine, now I have to fix some dependencies on it, to get the programs run. What operating system is on your router? I ask, because my next step (after several tests with linux) will be to make a toolchain for mips, without any operating system, to use java for programming applications directly running on the target hardware. But I am not sure whether we should discuss all our work in the mailing list, but I think we will get some feedback if we annoy someone.
