| <h1>Getting Started: Building and Running VMKit</h1> |
| |
| |
| <p>This page gives you the shortest path to checking out vmkit and demos a few |
| options. This should get you up and running with the minimum of muss and fuss. |
| If you like what you see, please consider <a href="get_involved.html">getting |
| involved</a> with the vmkit community.</p> |

| |
| <h2>A word of warning</h2> |
| |
| <p>While this work aims to provide a fully functional JVM and CLI runtime, it |
| is <em>still early work</em> and is under heavy development. |
| <p>Some of the more notable missing pieces in the CLI runtime are:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Support for arithmetic overflow.</li> |
| <li>Support for CLI object finalization semantics.</li> |
| <li>Thread support.</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <p>Some of the common missing pieces in vmkit/llvm are:</p> |
| |
| <ol> |
| <li>Hotspot-like virtual machine (e.g mixed interpretation/compilation).</li> |
| </ol> |
| |
| <h2 id="build">Building vmkit / working with the code</h2> |
| |
| <p>If you would like to check out and build the project, the current scheme |
| is (if you only want the JVM, you can skip the Pnet part. If you only want the CLI |
| VM, you can skip the GNU Classpath part):</p> |
