glibc is a C, not C++, thus there is no issue with name space and name
mangling/resolution when using an older compiler (egcs) with it.  So
making mods to work with a new glibc does not require building with the
same compiler.

On the other hand I don't think that redhat (for whom they fixed the bug

Probably. The problem is conflict between pre-gcc-3.1 C++ runtime system
used by JVM and new one used by gcc-3.1. They cannot be (always) mixed
in one executable. Glibc has nothing to do with it.

When java is started as separate process (like on conqueror) instead of
being loaded into process (like in Mozilla) you do not have any problem.

today/yesterday a new version of both the jre and jsdk came out
(1.4.0_01-b03 binary release). one of the "bugs" resolved is the now
support for glibc-2.2.5, so theoretically that should solve the issue.

While we are discussing Java, is there a reason the sun JDK is not already

I think you can get what you need with the mozilla-devel package.  Not
sure, haven't gotten that far, yet.

Once you/we have the procedure all figured out, maybe a mini-HOWTO is in
order.  And/Or maybe send the patches to Sun with the suggestion that
they make a 3.x compiled version available.

hi,

I just tried to compile it using your (modifed) settings, but ran into
major problems:

In order to get it build with gcc 3.1.1, I had to patch 3 files:
- hotspot/src/share/vm/opto/loopnode.hpp
- hotspot/src/share/vm/prims/jvmdi.cpp
- hotspot/src/share/vm/c1/c1_FrameMap.hpp

After that I ran into a linker problem, that I'm not able to solve:

CUT
/usr/local/src/development/langs/java/jscsl140/control/build/linux-athlon/tmp/sun/java.net/net/obj/linux_close.o:

 undefined reference to `pthread_kill'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
CUT

Did you run into the same problems (and how did you solve the linker
issue?)

In general I doubt that "normal" users would be happy with having to
compile java from sources in order to get the plugin working for their
mozilla, even if there was a skeleton-spec and patchfile that easened
it. Besides the hour it takes to compile, AFAIK you also need
mozilla-sources to build the plugin, so that is even more complicated

j2sdk-1_4_0-motif-linux-i386.zip
j2sdk-1_4_0-src-scsl.zip
j2sdk-sec-1_4_0-src-scsl.zip

Those are the three packages that were presented to me at the download

It is in separate archive (there are three of them - j2sdk-src,

Perhaps we could create a "skeleton" package: just the spec file and the

The sources for the jdk would not be included, due to the license

If I understand right, this is only a problem because
of the way Mozilla uses the JDK, and doesn't affect
Konqueror.  If so, why not use Konq for the few times
you need Java?  I currently don't have a seperate JDK
installed and use Konq as my fulltime browser, and
just use Netscape 4 whenever I need Java (which is
like never anymore), so it's the same idea, and not
much of a hassle.

And while waiting for the 'when', isn't there any src-available jre

If you look at www.distrowatch.com/redhat.plp, you'll see rawhide
(RedHat's equivalent of cooker?) listed with gcc 3.1.  As a sidenote,
the distrowatch website was where I found out about cooker (see
www.distrowatch.com/mandrake.php).  I'm not sure were they get their
information from, but it seems accurate to me.

Also, I remember RedHat being attacked for shipping 7.0 with a
"broken" compiler--gcc 2.96.  Their reason for doing so was that it
was closer to being standards compliant (as well as being better at
optimizing), so my guess is that they'll be using gcc-3.1 pretty soon
as well.

Netscape is not now included.
It is Available on the PowerPack or through the MandrakeClub, as is JDK.

Do they supply an rpm to mandrake club members, rather than just suns archive? 
Ive been looking into joining the club, but cant find a list of what packages 
are available to members, and as im only a student even $60 is a very big 
financial desicion to make.

That's the reason - Mandrake cannot include in the GPL version of their
distribution because of license issue.  Netscape 4 was the big exception
to this rule.

It would not Be mandrake only.

If you look at the main component structure for UnitedLinux you will
find gcc-3.1.
I take that to indicate that the member distros,(SuSE, Calera, Turbo,
and Conectiva) will in their future releases also be using gcc-3.1.
If you add their numbers to that of mandrake you well exceed those of
RH.
For Sun to ignore this would be a very poor business decision on their
part.
