[LLVMdev] problems building vmkit

[nicolas geoffray]

Hi Zoe,

For 1), don't bother with N3. It hasn't been updated for a while, and the
compilation errors don't surprise me.
For 2), do you have the 'ant' tool installed? The build system should abort
if it's not there, but that has not been implemented yet.
For 3) and 4) I am not sure what the problem is. It works fine for my intel
core2 duo, ubuntu lucid, gcc 4.4.3.

Maybe if you can provide me with a backtrace for 3) and 4) I could help
more. I do encourage you to use MMTk (config 2) in your case). Hopefully,
the only problem is that you haven't 'ant' installed on your machine.
