Did you try doing a "build.sh clean" first?

Submitted by Stephen Crawley on Tue, 02/03/2009 - 10:32.

Also, what is your build environment. It looks like you are using Windows, but what version, and what JDK version are you using for your build?

No...i didn't try "build.sh

No...
i didn't try "build.sh clean"....
i'v just downloaded the jnode-src-0.2.7, and building CD-ROM image using "build cd-x86-lite"

i'm using Windows XP service Pack 2 and
jdk 1.6 update 3

I tried what you did and it worked.

Submitted by Stephen Crawley on Wed, 02/04/2009 - 11:15.

I downloaded the same source bundle, unzipped it, extracted it, and built it using "build cd-x86-lite". The build completed with no unexpected errors, and no sign of the errors that you reported. I used Windows XP and JDK 1.6 (update 11 ... though I doubt that the update level matters.)

So here's what I suggest you do:

  1. Download the JNode 0.2.8 source bundle. It isn't what is causing you problem, but JNode 0.2.7 is now obsolete.
  2. Check that you have enough disk space. It is not inconceivable that the problem was due to truncation of a class file when the disk filled up.
  3. Double-check that you have setup your build environment correctly as described in this page: look for the heading "Requirements for building under Windows".
  4. Clean out the stuff left from your failed build by running "build clean".
  5. Retry the build by running "build cd-x86-lite".

If this fails, the next thing I'll suggest is that you dump Windows and try building on Linux. In my experience, builds run roughly twice the speed on Linux as on Windows XP with the same hardware.

Problem in VMWare Player while running cd-x86-lite CD-ROM image

Submitted by babu on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 21:13.

You're right sir... there was a version conflict prob... Now i'm using jdk 1.6 update 12, and successfully built CD-ROM image...

I've installed VMWare Player 2.5.1 and successfully loaded the CD-ROM image, while giving the command "startawt" the player remains as black, there is no GUI display...

please tell me, what do i have to do to solve this problem........

Works for me ...

Submitted by Stephen Crawley on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 23:21.

I downloaded the same version of VMPlayer for Windows and ran JNode using the ISO and .vmx file created by the build process. At the JNode command prompt I typed:

JNode> gc
JNode> startawt

VMWare switched from a 24x80 console window to larger GUI window. It stayed black for 30 seconds or so, then the JNode GUI was displayed. I launched the GUI-mode console, and ran a command with no problems.

My first guess is that you forgot to run "gc" before running "startawt". If you fail to do this, JNode can get "stuck" trying to compile the classes that support the GUI. (At least it used to do that ... I run "gc" out of habit now.)

Otherwise, it is most likely that your graphics card / chipset is not properly supported in JNode yet. Can you tell us what it is please?

If the issue is that your graphics card is not supported, then you may want to try using the VESA driver as a fallback. Unfortunately, I cannot find clear instructions on how to do this, and I've never had to do this myself.

If someone else (Levente?, Peter?, ...) could provide some rough instructions about using VESA as a followup comment, I can refine them and incorporate them into the JNode documentation tree.

VMWare player

In VMWare player the graphics card is supported, so probably in the above setup the gui takes a bit more time to start up or there is not enough memory in vmware player for the gui to start up. Can you try it with 1G RAM?

Using the VESA driver is as simple as selecting the option in the GRUB menu with VESA support. Then JNode switches to graphics mode during startup though the text console is used in this case too. Then in the command line the desktop is started with the same startawt command.
