No problem.  The OSKit/Kaffe build is a bit complicated...

Which version of Kaffe are you using?  CVS?  1.0.5?

I wouldn't set prefix to your kaffe source directory.  That will only
cause great pain later on.

The oskit-configure script should find x86-oskit-gcc, so you shouldn't 
have to set this.  Also, --oskitdir should point to the place the
oskit was *installed*.  (E.g., the directory you gave as the --prefix
when you configured/installed the OSKit.)

Could you give me these errors?  (Just send it directly to me, the
list doesn't need to see it....)

If you edit the OSKit, you must re-compile and re-install the OSKit:
	cd <oskitdir>
	make all
	make install

Then you must re-link Kaffe.  Kaffe's makefiles do *not* automatically 
depend upon OSKit libraries, so you have to force Kaffe to be
re-linked:
	cd <kaffedir>
	rm kaffe/kaffe/Kaffe
	make -C kaffe/kaffe Kaffe
	make install

The Kaffe binary in your Kaffe install tree should be all set.  If
you're building on Linux, I highly recommed building an OSKit/Unix
version of Kaffe first.  (Pass '--oskitunix' to the oskit-configure
script in Kaffe).  Its much easier to make sure the basic things work
when running on top of Linux.

      That which does not kill you just didn't try hard enough.
