Mac OS X

CDC-HI has been ported to run on Mac OS X. Currently there is only support for PowerPC^?. Support is only available with MR2 and later releases. x86 is currently in development, see Bug #37 (https://phoneme.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37).

• CPUs supported
  • Any single core PowerPC running in 32-bit mode
• Devices Supported
  • Any single core PowerMac
  • Requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later
• Devices Tested
  • PowerMac G4 running Mac OS X 10.4.8
  • iMac G5 running Mac OS X 10.4.8
• Known Limitations
  • Dual core not supported
  • Poor performance on G5 due to multiple deep pipelines (There is no code scheduling in the JIT).
• TCK Failures
  • FP TCK: api/java_net/DatagramSocket/index.html#ReuseAddress.
    • The setsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR, 1) call seems to succeed, but getsockopt(SO_REUSEADDR) returns 4 instead of 1, and you get a "bind: address in use" error on the 2nd bind to the socket.
• Build Instructions
  • Install Mac OS X developer tools
  • Builds with gcc 3.3 and 4.0
  • cd build/darwin-powerpc-mac
  • make -r J2ME_CLASSLIB=foundation
• GUI Support
  • PBP/QT and PP/QT
  • Requires installation of QT 3.4 using fink
  • Build with J2ME_CLASSLIB=personal or J2ME_CLASSLIB=basis
