Jikes is an Open Source compiler developed by IBM that translates Java source code to executable Java bytecode (the .class files) that can then be run by an appropriate Java Virtual Machine. Jikes is only a compiler, it does not include a Java VM. However, Jikes is a native program and thus sometimes significantly faster than the default javac compiler that comes with the Java Developer Kit (javac is typically a java program itself).
To build IBM Jikes on MPE/iX, I have used the GNU gcc compiler package.
To build IBM Jikes on MPE/iX, you need the following files:
To just use precompiled binaries, you can use the following:
Have fun with IBM Jikes for MPE/iX, but keep in mind: use at your own risk
