My project, JsDoc Toolkit, is built on top of Rhino and I'm very keen
to start using the new AST functionality that is in the CVS
repository. However I've found that I cannot compile the latest
version of Rhino from CVS on my development machine: a Mac running PPC
(not Intel). Does Rhino require Java6? If so then I'm shut out as
Java6 requires an Intel chip on Mac.

Hey Michael, good to see you here :-)

What's the particular error message you're getting? We haven't introduced a Java 6 dependency consciously and might be able to eliminate it.

I have to admit that I'm now on Snow Leopard on my primary machine, and as such only have Java 6 installed :-) Lower versions aren't even an option anymore, although I might try to compile against a 1.5 rt.jar to see what falls out... I also have an iMac G5 with Leopard laying around.

FWIW, SoyLatte should work on PPC Macs and you could use it to compile Rhino. See this thread on Stack Overflow: <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/613175/java-6-on-an-osx-10-4-mac-powerpc> for instructions on how to make it work.

Attila.

I just switched my Rhino project in Eclipse to use Java 5 libraries and 1.5 source code compatibility, and no errors... Can you send the actual build failure?

Here's a link for installing Java 1.5 and 1.4 on Snow Leopard:
