bytecode2firm - a Java bytecode front end for libFirm.

Setup
------

1) Get, setup and build libFirm from https://github.com/MatzeB/libfirm_jambuild.
2) Get, setup and build liboo   from https://github.com/MatzeB/liboo.
3) Copy config.mak.example to config.mak and edit the variables FIRM_HOME and LIBOO_HOME to point to the repositories you just cloned.
4) Install gcj. bytecode2firm needs libgcj.so, and the precompiled runtime classes from gcj's rt.jar.
   In Ubuntu, install "libgcj-10 gcj-4.4-jre-lib". (Hint: you might want to make sure that gcj is not your default Java VM afterwards. See "update-alternatives --config X", where X = {java, javac, javah, ...})
   Locate the rt.jar and unzip it to an directory named "rt" in the source
   directory (or specify -bootclasspath when invoking bytecode2firm).

Running
--------

$ ./bytecode2firm -cp <class path> <Main class name>

for example,

$ ./bytecode2firm -cp $HOME/Src/bytecode2firm-testsuite InvokeX

The resulting linked executable needs liboo_rt.so. It is compiled to look in the current directory.
