Just compiling gives:
Error: Assembler jasmin.jar not found, switching to external assembling

Jasmin has not released a version with the patches mentioned on the
wiki. So I guess you still have to build it yourself.

I tried the instruction for Jasmin:
I downloaded and unpacked jasmin 2.4.
Applying the patch failed, because it changes line endings. patch needs
the option --binary for that.
It still fails on two files:
./src/jasmin/parser.java.rej
./src/jasmin/sym.java.rej

Calling build.sh results in
build.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found
build.sh: line 16: $'\r': command not found

So changing the line endings is a bad idea.

What is now the right way to get a ppcjvm?
