Hi all,
I gratefully like to announce that I was successful in building and
running Harmony on newly installed Debian stable Linux system. As
far
as I remember nobody has tried to build on Debian before (I may be
wrong of course).
However there were some tricks I'd like to share.
1. I was able to build both classlib and DRLVM without any problems
with our "getting started for contributors" page and default Debian
package set.
2. However, DRLVM completely rejected to run after step 1. Even
HelloWorld crashed. The problem was that the kernel I was using
wasn't
fresh enough - big thanks to Alexei Fedotov for pointing this
out. So
I've switched from version 2.4.27 to 2.6.8 and this brings DRLVM
back
to life.
3. After step 2 everything was almost fine. Except for the graphics.
Almost all Swing & AWT tests fail because it fails to load
org.apache.harmony.awt.wtk.linux.LinuxWindowFactory. I've spent some
time investigating this. The correct sequence of actions was
su
cd /usr/X11R6/lib
ln -sf libXmu.so.6 libXmu.so
ln -sf libXtst.so.6 libXtst.so
ldconfig
exit
This is quite strange if you built classlib on this machine from
scratch
and didn't have any binaries left around. Which library required
libXmu.so instead of libXmu.so.6? Could you find it with ldd among
classlib native libraries?
It's not really that strange. Classlib natives try to load them
directly as 'libXmu.so' rather than with version symbols and Debian
intentionally does not install the unversioned .so files unless you
install the -dev packages (which are not required by the build).
Were we going to have the classlib go on an easter-egg hunt, looking
first for unversioned, and then versioned if not found? I don't
remember the conclusion.
