-************************* README for CACAO version 0.15 ************************
+CACAO README
-The current sources of CACAO version 0.15 are a snapshot during development.
-They will change in the near future and are badly documented. This version
-is not intended for public distribution. It is made available only for
-educational and research purposes.
+CACAO is a Java Virtual Machine with a JIT compiler for various
+architectures. It includes the Boehm garbage collector and uses GNU
+Classpath or OpenJDK as the core Java library.
-To use the CACAO sources put the cacao015.tgz file in a newly created
-directory and uncompress it using gzip and extract the files using tar.
-Make sure you have installed gmake. Enter:
+You will find the licensing conditions in the file COPYING. Licensing
+information for third party software can be found in THIRDPARTY.
-make config-alpha
-make
+For installation instructions, please refer to INSTALL.
-After this you should have a working version of cacao and cacaoh. How to
-invoke cacao and which class library has to be used is described at the
-CACAO home page (http://www.complang.tuwien.ac.at/java/cacao/index.html).
+New versions, updates and general information can be retrieved from
+http://www.cacaojvm.org/.
-Under Linux this version currently works only using the option -cf.
-If you want to use the Digital Unix C-compiler change the variable $CC
-in the Makefile from gcc to cc.
+Enjoy!
-The Sparc port is unfinished and not working. So typing "make config-sparc"
-makes no sense in the moment. Threads are currently also not supported.

-For questions mail me at cacao@complang.tuwien.ac.at, for very urgent
-questions mail me at andi@complang.tuwien.ac.at.

-Have fun with CACAO
