[kaffe] RE: Re: Cannot run AWT on Kaffe

[Ronald Sloot]

I had this problem on my ARM build of Kaffe:

> kaffe -Xkaffe-xlib-awt WidgetsDemo
> java.lang.InternalError: Pointer class was not properly initialized 

Turns out this "java.lang.InternalError: Pointer class was not properly
initialized" error is getting caused as a result of libxawt.so not
exporting JNI_OnLoad. 

When the libxawt.so library gets loaded by loadNativeLibrary
(kaffe/kaffevm/external.c) it probes for JNI_OnLoad. If it doesn't find
it it goes on and eventually hits the internal error in
Java_java_awt_Toolkit_fntInitFont() when it tries to use
JCL_NewRawDataObject to return the font object. 

JCL_NewRawDataObject
(libraries/javalib/external/classpath/native/jni/classpath/jcl.c)
triggers the internal error because it finds dat (jclass)rawDataClass is
not setup. This variable is setup by JNI_OnLoad to the suited Pointer
object of the platform ("gnu/classpath/Pointer64" or
"gnu/classpath/Pointer32").

By modifying the Makefile in libraries/clib/awt/X/Makefile.in so that it
also exports JNI_xxx, the WidgetsDemo program continues.

	Makefile.in: -export-symbols-regex "^([Jj]ava|kaffe|JNI)_"

BTW, I am not certain if this is the correct fix but it does the trick
for me, but I definitely don't understand why anybody else is not
running into this problem either (with -Xkaffe-xlib-awt).

With this fix the WidgetsDemo completes its initialisation and I see a
filled rectangle being drawn but then nothing anymore. I think the next
problem is that for some reason events are not getting distributed. The
Paint event certainly isn't happening....

Anybody else that has seen this before and knows a fix ?
