I tried to build kamikazi on my AMD 64 computer running OpenSuSE v10.3 using this guide. If I tried to build Atheros target from scratch, this is what I got:

make
++ mkdir -p /opt/tmp/openwrt-svn-trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_gcc4.1.2
++ cd /opt/tmp/openwrt-svn-trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_gcc4.1.2
++ mkdir -p bin lib include stamp
Checking 'bison'... ok.
Checking 'ruby'... ok.
Checking 'fastjar'... ok.
Checking 'jikes'... failed.

sablevm-sdk: sablevm-sdk requires jikes.

make[4]: *** [prereq] Error 1
make[3]: *** [package/openwrt-packages/lang/sablevm-sdk/prereq] Error 2
make[2]: *** [/opt/tmp/openwrt-svn-trunk/staging_dir/mips/stamp/.package_prereq] Error 2
make[1]: *** [prereq] Error 2
make: *** [world] Error 2

However, if I first build Broadcom target and then clean the build, I have no problem to rebuild the Atheros target. Can anyone please tell me why this happens? I noticed Broadcom target build will use gcc-v3.4.6. Is this the reason why building Atheros target on gcc-v4.2.0 fails as shown above?

Have you blindly installed jikes (http://jikes.sourceforge.net/) like it asked?

Jikes isn't needed if I first compile the SVN with default selected target of a Broadcom chipset. It is the Atheros target that gave me the above errors ONLY if I try to compile it at the first time. After compiling the default target (broadcom chipset), compiling Atheros target was fine without a problem. This is weird.

Installing Jikes on my AMD64 runn OpenSuSE v10.3 resolved the problem now. Thank you exobyte for the pointer.
