Re: (Tentative) SableVM 1.1.8 Released

Hi there.

I compiled SableVM 1.1.8 on Ubuntu 4.10 x86, using a tarball of 
libffi-2.1 from http://gadek.homelinux.org/libffi/   I hope that's OK. :-)

pjcabrera@ubuntu:~/projects> /opt/sablevm/java-sablevm --version

SableVM version 1.1.8
- compile date and time: 2004-12-30 00:10:52 UTC
- gcc version: 3.3.4 (Debian 1:3.3.4-9ubuntu5)
- 'real life brokenness' features enabled
- signal based exception detection
- copying garbage collection
- bidirectional object layout
- inline-threaded interpreter

Everything compiles fine, but I get the following errors on execution:

pjcabrera@ubuntu:~/projects> cat HelloWorld.java

public class HelloWorld {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    System.out.println("Hello World!");
  }
}
