Description
With a fresh MacPorts system (1.6.0) running on top of Leopard Server 10.5.1 the kaffe port (kaffe version 1.1.7) fails to build.
The verbose output from my terminal shell is very lengthy and thus attached as a separate file to this ticket but at first this file exceeded the MacPorts Trac system's file size limit of 262144 bytes, so I was required to attach it as a compressed zip file.
Kaffe seems to be a mission-critical port because it is depended on by many other Java-related ports leading up to, for example, the Tomcat port.

And who should be looking at this task? Why is there no maintainer?

Just some information for other users finding this bug report.
It looks like kaffe doesn't work on Mac OS X at the moment (http://kaffe.org/ports.shtml). To use any ports which have kaffe as dependency just install a working Java from the Mac OS X installation cd. As kaffe is only used as dependency if no java binary is installed this will work.

After all these years, I tried a number of things to see if I could build kaffe
on 10.5 and was unable to do so. I don't believe anyone is too interested in this ancient ticket any longer. If there is interest in this, please re-open this ticket.
On my system it's failing to find javac! How could it fail to do that? It's right there in /usr/bin/javac.
