This is the source distribution of IBM's fast java compiler.

To build jikes on the Amiga, you can either run the configure script,
e.g., "configure --prefix=/gg" from sh and tweak the resulting Makefile,
or simply copy Makefile.amiga to Makefile.

Before typing "make", you may want to make the following changes to the
Makefile:
* Change the CPU and FPU options.
* Change the optimization level. Note that using -O2 will produce a binary
  that is about a megabyte larger, and the resulting gains in compilation
  time will be overwhelmed by the additional loading time. Also note that
  you will need at least 70M of memory to compile jikes with -O2, i.e.,
  you will most likely need to use VMM, and that on a 68040@28MHz it
  takes about a day to produce the optimized binary. In other words,
  don't bother.

INSTALLATION:
Simply copy the jikes executable somewhere in your path.

USAGE:
Set either the CLASSPATH or the JIKESPATH environment variable to point
to the directories and zip/jar files that you want your compiler to use.
E.g., if you are using Kaffe, you can say:
setenv CLASSPATH "GG:share/kaffe/Klasses.jar;GG:share/kaffe/Pizza.jar;."
Separate the path components using semicolons. You can use UNIX "." and ".."
notation for the current directory and for the parent directory of a
directory.

If you find a bug in the Amiga port, you can contact me at kyrimis@cti.gr
and I'll see what I can do.
