I fixed the bug in X that caused the strings in awt to be displaced. A
fixed Xlib was provided on this site, but the fix is incorporated in XFree, so
you just need to upgrade your familiar distro.

I tried to recompiled kaffe from cvs (tag
pocketlinux-v1), but ran into too many of the same errors that were in my
previous version. My (other) patch apparently had not been applied, 'coz that
particular bug was in there, still.

One year later :)
Need to get JVPC running again, but I detected libfloat.so is as buggy as
possible. Dividing by doubles is a mess. So I need to recompile kaffe for
kernel-emulated floating point. I thought to have updated some things from CVS,
but I didn't...
25 January 2002:
Based on the need of some colleagues of Philips Displays, David Lia and
built Kaffe for CerfBoard with framebuffer. The second try came from current
CVS, which worked surprisingly well, even though there are many tweaks needed
and some stupid omissions and wrong-orders in the scripts from pocketlinux.
Anyway, this is a fresh version, which turns out to be faster and I think less memory-consuming. It uses static libraries for kaffe-only stuff (that's smart, actually) and I made an ipkg for it, get it from my feed. Should work with libungif, libpng, libjpeg and libtiff.
And here is the script that performs all the miracles. You'll need to get jikes, the arm toolchain and libz, perhaps libungif, libjpeg, libtiff and libpng from the skiffs first, by yourself (hey, there should be some tasks left for you, so I left the tasks that are most useful elsewhere :)
