jamvm and classpath on gumstix

[OliverMB]

Hi,

after spending some days and nights on trying to run java on gumstix,
I'm wondering if anybody out there already had success in doing so.

After trying out the latest jamvm 1.5.0 together with classpath 0.96 and
0.96.1 I switched back to the versions on trunk, hoping that there are
good reasons why the integrator added exactly these versions.

I figured out two reasons:
-the old versions seem to be smaller (this is quite important to stay
within the 16MB flash size)
-the versions seem to fit together (unlike the other versions I've tried
out)

Unfortunately they do not work for me, and it seems, that nobody in any
mailing list I've seen did know a decent solution.

So, is there anybody out there who can help out?

Here is my setup that didn't work:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/classpath
export
BOOTCLASSPATH=/usr/share/jamvm/classes.zip:/usr/share/classpath/glibj.zip
jamvm -verbose -cp BOOTCLASSPATH -Djava.library.path=LD_LIBRARY_PATH
HelloWorld.class

The output shows, that jamvm uses the classes.zip and glibj.zip
archives,
but then stops with the following error:
...
[Loaded java/lang/RuntimeException from /usr/share/classpath/glibj.zip]
[Linking class java/lang/RuntimeException]
[Loaded java/lang/NullPointerException
from /usr/share/classpath/glibj.zip]
[Linking class java/lang/NullPointerException]
[Loaded java/lang/ExceptionInInitializerError
from /usr/share/classpath/glibj.zip]
[Linking class java/lang/ExceptionInInitializerError]
Cannot create system class loader
Exception occured while printing exception
(java/lang/NoClassDefFoundError)...
Original exception was java/lang/ExceptionInInitializerError

I already tried to change the make configuration and added --with-jni
This didn't help!

So could someone please give some advice what I've missed?

Thank you!
 Oliver

You're on the right track.  Do the following :

1) Find glibj.zip
2) Find classes.zip

e.g.

cd /
find . -name glibj.zip

export BOOTCLASSPATH=<path to classes.zip>:<path to glibj.zip>

3) Find libjavalang.so

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<directory in which you found libjavalang.so>

4) Run jamvm without any -cp, or -D...

jamvm hello

If I remember, gumstix has JamVM 1.4.2 so this SHOULD work.  If not, try:

jamvm -Xbootclasspath:<path to classes.zip>:<path to glibj.zip> -Dgnu.classpath.boot.library.path=<directory in which you found libjavalang.so> hello

This is needed for later versions.  I can't remember if 1.4.2 is before or after the change.

Rob.

P.S.  The problems are caused by the fact that JamVM has been configured to expect the classes/shared libraries in one place, but they are installed somewhere else.

I hve it working but I set it up last June July.  You migh search the
archives for JamVM.  I believe someone sent me an email helping me out.  I I
set it up and ran some test on it.  I had a multi threaded app that went out
and crawled the internet fr 5 hours.  It didn't do anything witht he data it
just crawled to be doing something.  I was trying to test the JamVM.  I had
20 threads running and it ran great.

Hi Rob,

first, thank you for your guidance.
What you write below is exactly what I did before.
So I'm still searching for a solution.

Here is some additional information, where all the needed files are  
installed to
(I'm using the default gumstix make files, so the paths are as follows):

The java libraries:
# ls /usr/lib/classpath/
libjavaio.la                 libjavalang.so                
libjavalangreflect.so.0      libjavanet.so.0.0.0          libjavautil.la
libjavaio.so                 libjavalang.so.0              
libjavalangreflect.so.0.0.0  libjavanio.la                libjavautil.so
libjavaio.so.0               libjavalang.so.0.0.0          
libjavanet.la                libjavanio.so                
libjavautil.so.0
libjavaio.so.0.0.0           libjavalangreflect.la        
libjavanet.so                libjavanio.so.0              
libjavautil.so.0.0.0

There are jamvm, classpath in this ipkg feed
http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/gumstix1151/cross/unstable/

Also worth consideration is phoneme-advanced cvm in the same feed.

See http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Gumstix on how to setup ipkg.

The optware cross compilation mk files are located at
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/browser/trunk

The Google Android hackers have managed to get it up and running on a
Sharp Zaurus now, so there is some hope that it could be made to run
on a gumstix, and that would provide a nice Java based development
environment.

Oliver-

These are the steps that we used to build a file image for the Gumstix (netstix 400xm-cf) that supports Java. We also removed some wireless and bluetooth packages that we're not using to save space. The resulting image contains JamVM 1.4.2 and Classpath .90. That combination supports, some, but not all Java 5 features. Enums and the concurrency packages are not supported. Type-safe collections, basic generics, the enhanced for loop, static imports, StringBuilder, autoboxing and unboxing, var args and annotations are supported.

The steps below were used on a Red Hat AS 4 host with Jikes 1.22. The following packages were installed to support Jikes: compat-libstdc++-296-2.96-132.7.2.i386.rpm and jikes-1.22-1.i586.rpm

1.    Create a directory to work in ( e.g. tempBuildRoot)
mkdir tempBuildRoot

2.    Change into that directory
cd tempBuildRoot

3.    Check out BuildRoot from Subversion
svn co -r1089 http://svn.gumstix.com/gumstix-buildroot/trunk gumstix-buildroot

4.    Launch the configuration tool. Use the arrow keys for selection, the space bar for toggle and the Enter key for input when using the configuration tool.
    make menuconfig
   
5.    Select "Package Selection for the target" using the arrow keys and hit Enter.

6.    Deselect the following packages:
        bluez
        wifistix
        wirelesstools
       
7.    Select the following packages:
        classpath
        jamvm
        zlib headers in target
       
8.    Select Exit.

9.    Select Exit again.

10.    Select Yes when prompted about saving your new Buildroot configuration.

11.    Fix classpath so that it will build with Jikes. Otherwise there will be a segmentation fault.  Do this by editting package/classpath/classpath.mk using vi (or your favorite editor) and modifying it so that it will build with Jikes. If you skip this step there will be a segmentation fault during the build process.
Find the section with all the configuration options (specifically the line that looks like this):
--disable-gtk-peer \
And add a line that follows it that looks like this
--with-jikes \

12.    Save the file and exit your editor.

13.    Build the file system image.
    make
   
14.    This results in a rootfs.arm_nofpu.jffs2 file being created. This is suitable for flashing to the Gumstix.

Hope that helps,
Joshua Smith

After trying out the latest jamvm 1.5.0 together with classpath 0.96 and
0.96.1 I switched back to the versions on trunk, hoping that there are
good reasons why the integrator added exactly these versions.

I figured out two reasons:
-the old versions seem to be smaller (this is quite important to stay
within the 16MB flash size)
-the versions seem to fit together (unlike the other versions I've tried
out)

Oliver, I have tried many combinations of JamVM + Classpath. My advice
is to use the most recent versions of both (JamVM 1.5.0 + Classpath 0.96.1).
I ran into various problems with most (maybe all) other combinations.

Classpath 0.96.1 is bigger than previous versions. If you need to make it
fit into 16 Mb, you could erase some of the Classpath stuff. I don't need
any of the graphics stuff, so I erased all awt and swing packages and then
repacked glibj.zip. Yes, that's painful, isn't it? I think I mentioned that I
have had a lot of trouble with JamVM and/or Classpath.
If you can spare the money, consider buying a Gumstix with more memory.
