Be warned that BaseBaseSemiSpace instructs +jconfigure to prepare a version of JikesRVM that is slow to run but quick +to build. After verifying that that works, you may want to try +FastAdaptiveSemiSpace instead (just change the last argument to jconfigure; +you will probably want to change RVM_BUILD so that the FastAdaptive image +does not destroy the BaseBase one). That will prepare a Jikes RVM version +that takes much longer to build (~25 minutes on a fast machine) but will run +programs much faster. Also be warned that you currently need rather a +lot of memory to build the FastAdaptiveSemiSpace image; recommended at least +512MB. +</p> +<p> +If you have problems, refer to specific install documentation for each +project.
