Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Linux only: When compiling the C files produced by hac, I get an error relating to the files pthread.h or my_thread.h (either because the file former file doesn't exist or because there's a parse error in an included file).
    You may need to get a newer version of the pthread library, as described in the documentation.
    If you already have the correct version of pthread, you may have to uncomment the line defining _MIT_POSIX_THREADS in the file harissa.h in the include subdirectory of the Harissa installation.
  2. When compiling, I get the message:

    MyStation% hac prog MyApp
    Warning: Native procedure java_lang_Class_isInstance not found
    Warning: Native procedure java_lang_Class_isAssignableFrom not found
    Warning: Native procedure java_lang_Class_isArray not found

    You tried compiling a JDK 1.1.x based application. Right now, Harissa works only with JDK 1.0.2.
  3. What does the message: Cannot load "java/lang/Object", check the CLASSPATH variable mean?
    Hi and hac rely on the Sun standard classes. If these classes cannot be found in the CLASSPATH, Harissa programs can't be initialized.
  4. When compiling javac on SunOs, make crashes
    There is a problem with the make command which does not like our makefile (pb of size?). Make crashes when compiling the file java_io_File.c and prints the message:
    make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `hacjava_io_File.cjava_lang_Class.o
    To solve this problem, either use gmake or edit the Makefile and move the line "java_io_File.c\" one or two lines down.
