Note: This is a historical document. Please use the latest J2ME release from Sun since the Linux patch is now included.

1. Get the KVM 1.0 FCS and the Palm overlay from java.sun.com.

2. Unpack the basic J2ME archive:

       $ unzip /home/ftp/pub/java/sun/j2me_cldc/j2me_cldc-1_0-src-winsol.zip
       Archive:  /home/ftp/pub/java/sun/j2me_cldc/j2me_cldc-1_0-src-winsol.zip
          creating: j2me_cldc/
          creating: j2me_cldc/jam/
          creating: j2me_cldc/jam/src/
         inflating: j2me_cldc/jam/src/jamParse.c  
         inflating: j2me_cldc/jam/src/jamStorage.c  
         [...]
         inflating: j2me_cldc/bin/kvm.exe   
         inflating: j2me_cldc/bin/kvm_j.exe  
         inflating: j2me_cldc/bin/preverify.exe  
   

3. Change into the J2ME path and unpack the Palm overlay and overwrite all conflicting files:

       $ cd j2me_cldc
       $ unzip /home/ftp/pub/java/sun/j2me_cldc/j2me_cldcc-1_0-src-palm_overlay.zip 
       Archive:  /home/ftp/pub/java/sun/j2me_cldc/j2me_cldc-1_0-src-palm_overlay.zip
          creating: api/src/com/sun/cldc/io/palm/
          creating: api/src/com/sun/cldc/io/palm/storage/
          [...]
          creating: api/src/com/sun/cldc/io/palm/https/
         inflating: api/src/com/sun/cldc/io/palm/https/Protocol.java  
       replace api/Makefile? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: A
         inflating: api/Makefile            
          creating: bin/api/classes/com/sun/cldc/io/palm/
          creating: bin/api/classes/com/sun/cldc/io/palm/storage/
         inflating: bin/api/classes/com/sun/cldc/io/palm/storage/Protocol.class  
         [...]
         inflating: tools/palm/Makefile     
         inflating: tools/jcc/nativeFunctionTablePalm.c  
         inflating: tools/jcc/nativeRelocationPalm.c  
         inflating: tools/jcc/Makefile    
   

4. Change into the KVM source path and apply the KVM linux patch:

       $ cp /home/aheilwag/java/XPTools/html/dist/J2ME-CLDC-linux-1.4.patch.zip .
       $ unzip J2ME-CLDC-linux-1.4.patch.zip 
       Archive:  J2ME-CLDC-linux-1.4.patch.zip
         inflating: J2ME-CLDC-linux-1.4.patch  
       $ patch -p1 < J2ME-CLDC-linux-1.4.patch
       patching file Makefile
       patching file Makefile.inc
       patching file README.linux
       [...]
       patching file tools/preverifier/src/sys_api.h
       patching file tools/preverifier/src/sysmacros_md.h
       patching file tools/preverifier/src/typedefs_md.h
   

5. From the KVM source path run make

       $ make
   
       Select the operating system by issuing one of the
       following commands:
           make solaris
           make linux
           make win32
   
       $ make linux
       cd build/linux; make all
       make[1]: Entering directory /tmp/j2me_cldc/build/linux'
       make LOOP TARGET=all
       make[2]: Entering directory /tmp/j2me_cldc/build/linux'
       >>>Recursivly making ../../tools/preverifier/build/linux all...
       make[3]: Entering directory /tmp/j2me_cldc/tools/preverifier/build/linux'
       cc -c -I../../src -DUNIX -DLINUX -DJAVAVERIFY -DTRIMMED -Di386  ../../src/check_class.c
       cc -c -I../../src -DUNIX -DLINUX -DJAVAVERIFY -DTRIMMED -Di386  ../../src/main.c
       cc -c -I../../src -DUNIX -DLINUX -DJAVAVERIFY -DTRIMMED -Di386  ../../src/utf.c
       cc -c -I../../src -DUNIX -DLINUX -DJAVAVERIFY -DTRIMMED -Di386  ../../src/check_code.c
       [...]
   

6. You can test the compiled palm applications by changing into the samples directory and executing

   sh ku <classname>

   e.g.

   sh ku Dragon
