Hi Bob,

Thanks for the contribution, and welcome on board!
There is one more thing you need to do for proceeding further: please
ensure you've filled an Authorized Contributor Questionnaire [1,2] and
submit signed scanned form to PMC (private@ list).

You may get more help with build errors if posted relevant details
here. AFAIS you're building on MacOS, I'm not sure what is current
porting status of classlib.
And almost certainly DRLVM would need some work to build there, but it
should not be much. We've already heard a success story about
launching DRLVM with interpreter on FreeBSD, so give it a try ;) .

Regards,
Alexey
