I am working on a project to generate native x86 code from java bytecode.
The approach we are taking is to write a front end for djgpp. It is my
task, at this point, to become familiar with gcc and set up a development
environment. To date MSVC has been our platform of choice. However,
after looking at the sources and the makefile, I don't think it is going
to be efficient to port the sources. Instead, I think we can write the
front end on MSVC and wrap a variant of the djgpp makefile into the MSVC
project.
That leads me back to compiling djgpp on a WinNT 4 workstation . . . It
seems the fastest way to get this accomplished is with the Cygnus GNUPro
package. I'm sending them an e-mail asking for more information . . . I
would be interrested in your experiences (if any) with their port of the
sources.
Anyway, thank you for your help. Your input has been extremely valuable!
