dev-libs/libffi is now optional via the ffi use flag so you should be able to add your keywords back if jamvm works on ppc64 without libffi (meaning that it has it's own code for native calling on ppc64).
unfortunately I'm not able to comile gnu-classpath-0.93 (DEPEND of jamvm-1.4.5)

hmm.. I'm not sure what this program does ;-) I've done this to test this application: $ cat helloworld.java class Hello { public static void main(String args[]) { System.out.println("Hello World!"); } } $ javac helloworld.java $ jamvm Hello.class the result is that my CPU is being used 100%, but nothing else happens.. is this good or bad? what does this "virtual machine" do? have I used it completely wrong?

(In reply to comment #5) > betelgeuse@pena ~/test/java $ jamvm Hello ok. used that command and I'm getting the same result (100% CPU use, no output) $ eselect java-vm list Available Java Virtual Machines: [1] ibm-jdk-bin-1.4 [2] ibm-jdk-bin-1.5 system-vm [3] jamvm

Good point... I have only tried with USE="-ffi". Will try with that useflag enabled.

Hello ppc64 people. Time to test jamvm-1.5.0.
same as comment #4
still same; thoughts?
Can we try this newer version?
Make it 1.5.4-r1 Please check both with USE=libffi and USE="-libffi"
The other option is to drop the ppc64 keyword - no reverse dependencies - I doubt the current stable (1.4.2) still works - no user seemed to care so far So I ask whether you agree to - drop current stable and keep this open - drop and close - keep open
