Zaurus - pdaXrom / The blackdown port of java 1.3 to arm

« on: February 17, 2004, 11:28:22 pm »

I\'m running some pretty heavy stuff: a lot of xml/xpath processing, jakarta\'s jelly scripts, etc, so my expectations were pretty low. I was however pleasently suprised with the overall performance. Swing however seems a bit sluggish. My Swing GUI consisted of several tabs, several JTrees and an ink component. I did also tried it with a preemptive/overclocking kernel, but I didn\'t notice a big difference.
I will investigate the performace issue further.

Zaurus - pdaXrom / The blackdown port of java 1.3 to arm

I have been running Swing apps without any problems so far. I had success with Cacko version 0319241203 running on a C760
Here\'s what I did:

download blackdown\'s arm version of J2SE 1.3.1
decompress the blackdown archive in /home/root/usr/local
run \'uname -m\' to determine the machine hardware name
Blackdown expects \'armv4l\' as hardware name, in my case the one that \'uname -m\' returned was \'armv5tel\'. In order to fix that i had to add the following symbolic links:
   ln -s /home/root/usr/local/j2re1.3.1/bin/armv4l /home/root/usr/local/j2re1.3.1/bin/armv5tel
   ln -s /home/root/usr/local/j2re1.3.1/lib/armv4l /home/root/usr/local/j2re1.3.1/lib/armv5tel
now you need to install the following additional libraries: libBrokenLocale.so libXm.so libXp.so libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3      
the first 3 can be found in additional-ipaq-stuff.tar.gz on blackdown\'s website
I got libstdc++ from here ( http://intimate.handhelds.org/installer/so...-libc6.2-2.so.3 )
you can copy the libraries in any directory, you\'ll have to add the directory path to /etc/ld.so.conf
then execute ldconfig
now you can add /home/root/usr/local/j2re1.3.1/bin to the path
