Re: [rvm-research] Questions on perf tool usage in JikesRVM

Hi Rifat,

Thanks for advice.
Now I have Jikes built successfully with "bin/buildit --with-perfevent localhost production".
The message shows as:
===================== Summary =====================
>Local   : ....../jikesrvm-3.1.3
>Build   : ....../jikesrvm-3.1.3
>Target  : ..../jikesrvm-3.1.3
>Start   : Mon Aug 19 17:45:26 CDT 2013
>Config  : production [SUCCESS Mon Aug 19 17:50:09 CDT 2013]
>=================================================== 
>
But the problem is there is no "JikesRVM" in folder "dist/working/production_x86_64-linux/", which makes the execution abort as "rvm: line 30: ........../jikesrvm-3.1.3/dist/working/production_x86_64-linux/JikesRVM: No such file or directory"

Is there something wrong with my build, or usage?

Thanks!
Best
Junjie

Hello, 
You need to build Jikes using --with-perfevent.

bin/buildit --with-perfevent localhost production
