So, I’m not much of a java guy, but I need to know how to get at the CLI, given a java interface.<\/p>\n
Let’s assume for brevity that one has an ubuntu machine available:<\/p>\n
\r\n$ sudo apt-get install ikvm ikvm-native icepick icepick-gcj\r\n....\r\n$ mkdir hello-ikvm && cd hello-ikvm\r\n$ cat > hello.java\r\nclass hello\r\n{\r\n public static void main(String args[])\r\n {\r\n System.out.println(\"Hello, world!\");\r\n }\r\n}\r\n^D\r\n$ icepick-javac hello.java\r\n$ ls\r\nhello.class hello.java\r\n$ jar cvf hello.jar hello.class\r\n$ ls\r\nhello.class hello.jar hello.java\r\n$ ikvm hello\r\nHello, world!\r\n<\/pre>\nOkay, now we can run java bytecode on the IKVM virtual machine. yay. So what? On to the interesting bits.<\/p>\n
\r\n$ ikvmstub mscorlib\r\n...\r\n$ ls\r\nhello.class hello.jar hello.java mscorlib.jar\r\n$ cat > helloCLI.java\r\nimport cli.System.Console;\r\n\r\nclass helloCLI\r\n{\r\n public static void main(java.lang.String args[])\r\n {\r\n Console.WriteLine(\"Hello, world!\");\r\n }\r\n}\r\n^D\r\n$ ls\r\nhello.class hello.jar hello.java helloCLI.java mscorlib.jar\r\n$ icepick-javac -classpath mscorlib.jar helloCLI.java\r\n$ ls\r\nhello.class hello.jar hello.java helloCLI.class helloCLI.java mscorlib.jar\r\n$ ikvmc -reference:mscorlib helloCLI.class \r\n$ ls\r\nhello.class hello.java helloCLI.exe mscorlib.jar\r\nhello.jar helloCLI.class helloCLI.java\r\n$ mono helloCLI.exe\r\nHello, world!\r\n<\/pre>\nThe end. I need to pick up Scarlet now.<\/p>\n\n
