Hi, all,
I got strange issue when trying to build opendjk7 using ports utility
on a
private-built FreeBSD 8.2 system. Here is the output of make:
<snip>
I'm going to suggest that you upgrade to FreeBSD 8.3-- it's not a big
jump, so it shouldn't break anything.
Unfortunately ports can't be tested on unsupported versions, and 8.3
has been out over a year now.
However, I've added java@ in case they have any suggestions.

Hi, Chris,
Thanks for the mail.
The problem is, the target FreeBSD 8.2 system has been heavily hacked
(on both kernel and libc, as far as I know), and they have been doing
system test for months. If we (or say they) do the swtich, the porting
of the kernel part will be huge, and test results in the past months
will be wasted. So I suppose that is not the working solution for my
case. :(
BTW, I would appreciate if anyone can tell me why build java need java
support?
I don't know the internals of building Java, but with compilers it is
generally a chicken-and-egg-problem. How do you compile the compiler? The
compiler javac is written in Java, so you need java to build it.
But you can build a pkg of java on another machine and copy it.
Or it might work to use a ports tree of FreeBSD 8.2.

Didn't try, buy might be worth a try.
Ronald.
