From the global point of view:
The amount of software written for Java is much less than for C/C++. There is also a large base of free software written in C/C++ for Linux systems.

Having a C/C++ to Java compiler would allow JNode to compile the required C libraries into Java bytecode and then compile and use all the mentioned software. That would give an incredible kick-start to the operating system as whole, because the OS is only as good as the selection of software you can run on it.

While it is my understanding that everyone at JNode is Java enthusiast and would rather promote developing software in Java, I have to ask the following question...

I get the following error when I try to build jnode from a fully updated codebase:

asm-native:
[asm] Compiling 1 source files to C:\...\Jnode\source\all\build\x86\32bits\native\output
[asm] nasm: error: more than one input file specified
[asm] nasm: error: more than one input file specified
[asm] type `nasm -h' for help

BUILD FAILED

C:\...\Jnode\source\all\build.xml:301: The following error occurred while executing this line:

Hie guys.
I have installed JNODE and I am trying to run examples in the source code. I have the code below and an error. Could you please let me know what the problem could be.

// below is the code

package org.jnode.test;

import org.jnode.driver.AbstractDeviceManager;
import org.jnode.driver.DeviceUtils;
import org.jnode.driver.input.PointerAPI;
import org.jnode.driver.input.PointerEvent;
import org.jnode.driver.input.PointerListener;

import org.jnode.driver.*;
import org.jnode.plugin.*;
import java.util.*;

public class PointerTest{

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

Hie guys.

Can someone help me with code to get all devices connected to the PCI bus. I have the source code for JNODE but I want to be able to return using a method all devices connected to the PCI bus.

Thanx
