[Verse-dev] JVerse - Cibyl, how to get started

[Stuart Axon]

Nothing back from nathan yet, but got some info back from SImon Kagstrom of Cibyl - which I'll relay here along with some tips in case it's helpful to someone who could get started quicker than I (I'm kind of busy coding some freelance stuff at the mo).

Getting Cibyl working -
..
I only managed to get it working in linux, you need to follow the instructions on the site and download the correct crosscompiler stuff for mips - this is a bit of a pain as I downloaded the wrong one the first time. - Also, I run mine in vmware as I don't have a bootable linux at the mo (just using the bagside hardy heron image)
..
Simon Kagstorm: 
"There is a trivial example in
examples/host-java/using-cibyl-to-export-libraries which you can look
at. This shows how to export functions from a C library to Java, and
implements a "proxy" Java class with a "normal" Java interface.

The first "problem" is perhaps to compile verse itself with the MIPS
compiler and against the Cibyl libraries, then exporting the
functionality."
..


When I get time, I'll see if I can get it starting to compile.. if I get to that stage, then can look at hosting the code somewhere, it just might be a while as I'm pretty slow with getting code done for personal projects, but a lot faster at the research part... hence I'll try and post my findings for interested parties and things might move a bit quicker if I can start the ball rolling :)

Hi,
nice to hear about someone else trying to implement verse in other  
programming language. Try to contact Nathan Letwory. He tries to  
implement verse in C#. I'm sure, he can give you some advices about  
implementing verse in other languages. I Have no experience with Java,  
but I guess, that implementing all verse spec in java (and other  
programming language) could be time consuming. Cibyl looks like  
interesting project. It could give you working result in short time.
