Blackdown JDK and sid (was: Re: java 1.4 for ppc)
Is there any way to get the Blackdown JDK for PowerPC to work with Debian sid? It seems to be a combination of a couple things. Prior to 02c, it seemed to be a gcc-2.95 vs. gcc-3.2 issue, but now it seems to be a libc-2.3 issue (but the compiler issue might still be there). One error in particular I keep running into is this: /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/bin/ppc/native_threads/jar: relocation error: /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/lib/ppc/classic/libjvm.so: symbol __divdi3, version GLIBC_2.0 not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference libc.so.6 is pointing to libc-2.3.1.so in /lib. I also cannot get the plugin to work with current versions of the Mozilla package. If I download Mozilla 1.3 compiled with gcc-2.95, then the plugin works, so that makes me think that there are still compiler version issues with 02c. But I could be totally off on all of this... :) Wes Morgan On Monday 21 April 2003 8:04 am, Kevin B. Hendricks wrote: Hi, AFAIK, none exists.

I have been working on this, but I've been a bad boy, and haven't checked in any code yet. I have it maybe 40% done, and it's going well. I know I should have checked in some of my work, since it has been about a year since I originally volunteered to do this. In the future, I'll try not to keep all my work to myself... BTW: No, I don't think it will take another year to do the other 60% or so that's left. Brad Boyer [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: Blackdown JDK and sid (was: Re: java 1.4 for ppc)
Hi, Two things: 1. Mozilla is C++ and as such Mozilla and Blackdown JDK (has C+ in it also) must both either be compiled with gcc 2.95.X or both compiled with gcc 3.X since the C++ ABI changed. 2. The current JDK *does* work with a properly compiled glibc-2.3.1 compiled with the same compiler. For example Blackdown JDK works fine with YDL 3.0 which uses glibc-2.3.1 and everything was compiled with gcc 3.2.X. So the only solution I can offer: - upgrade to the very latest gcc 3.2.X - rebuild glibc 2.3.1 with it - rebuild Mozilla with it Then grab the Blackdown JDK wich was built with the same compiler gcc 3.2.X from http://crunch.ivey.uwo.ca/khendricks/openoffice/ Then you should have a working Blackdown JDK, a working Mozilla and you should not be seeing any __dividi3 relocation errors if the proper glibc compatibility patches are in place. I realize all of this is a mess but the number of changes in compilers, c++ abis, and glibc versions (and it matters which gcc cmpiles which glibc due to an earlier issue of some symbols sneaking in to the glibc builds from gcc) have made it very hard to keep a working Blackdown JDK (especially one that works with a recent Mozilla).

Re: Blackdown JDK and sid (was: Re: java 1.4 for ppc)
I installed j2sdk1.3.1-02d but the behavior didn't change any. The plugin still only worked with my 2.95-compiled copy of Mozilla, and I still got the relocation error. gcc -v gives gcc version 3.2.3 20030407 (Debian prerelease) but I have no idea what version was used to compile the Debian packages.

Hi, j2sdk1.3.1-02d is compiled with gcc 3.2.2 Please try it with a mozilla compiled with gcc 3.2.2 and and with gcc-2.3.1 with the proper compatibility patch for the compiler it was built with.

Hi, JDK 1.4.X does NOT exist for ppc Linux from Blackdown (or anywhere else that I know of yet)/ I am one of the Blackdown ports for ppc Linux so I would know. If anyone wants a JDK 1.4 from Blackdown (with mozilla plugin) we are going to need volunteers who know ppc assembly well. So we are waiting for volunteers.
