BeKaffe Frequently Asked Questions
=========================

The BeOS port requires BeOS R4 or higher.  It uses its
 own threading system designated "beos-native".  

To build Kaffe for BeOS, you must configure Kaffe as follows:

./configure --disable-shared --prefix=<insert-your-prefix-here>

Frequently Asked Questions
=================

	1 - Compilation and Installation questions.

	2 - Issues while running and getting new features to run.

	3 - General questions about the project.

=================
1.1  When I configure and attempt to compile the snapshot, I can't 
get it to work, what can I do?

The configure script might have problems related to the Makefile 
in the BeOS directory not being created.  To do this, type on the command line (replacing 
<space> for a physical space, which is VERY important) after running configure:

CONFIG_FILES=libraries/clib/awt/BeOS/Makefile<space>CONFIG_HEADERS=<space>/bin/sh<space>./config.status 

This will create the missing Makefile.

=================
2.1 Does Swing work with BeKaffe?

Of course, here's a snippet for your .kafferc (placed in the home 
directory)

---snip---
for jar in *.jar
do
        JARS=${JARS}:${jar}
done

CLASSPATH=.:${JARS}:${HOME}/java/swing-1.1.1beta2/swing.jar:${CLASSPATH}
---snap--

now you can type 'java StylePad' and it works....
