 Why is this?  Update 3 is a couple of years old, which is fine I

You'll probably have to ask the port maintainer directly:

cd /usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jre16
make maintainer

Native Java JDK vs. Linux Java JDK via emulation

2004-12-08 Thread Tabor Kelly
Hello Again,
First of all, I checked (http://www.freebsd.org/java/), but it did not 
have the info I was looking for (it also didn't seem to have any contact 
info for their authors).

So, my question:
What is the difference between the Native Java JDK (java/jdk14), and the 
linux one (java/linux-sun-jdk14), besides the obvious fact that 
java/linux-sun-jdk14 is officially sanctioned by Sun?

Also, if java/jdk14 is a native binary build of Java, why does it 
require java/linux-sun-jdk14?

Finally, a more general question: why do ports require specific versions 
of java? For example: The OpenOffice port requires java/jdk-1.4.2p6_7, 
shouldn't any vendor's copy of version 1.4 of the JDK work?

Thank You,
Tabor Kelly

The native version works a lot better than the Linux version under
FreeBSD. Quite a few of the bigger Java projects will fail to run
correctly on the Linux version.

 Also, if java/jdk14 is a native binary build of Java, why does it 
 require java/linux-sun-jdk14?

The build of the native jdk14 requires a boot-strap Java-compiler, the
one most readily available being the linux-sun-jdk14 version. Once the
Native JDK14 is installed the Linux one can be removed. Updates to the
native JDK can use the installed Native JDK as its boot-strap compiler.

 Finally, a more general question: why do ports require specific versions 
 of java? For example: The OpenOffice port requires java/jdk-1.4.2p6_7, 
 shouldn't any vendor's copy of version 1.4 of the JDK work?

You'll have to ask the OpenOffice maintainers about this one.

trouble with linux java install.

2003-02-22 Thread chauncey smith
 Checksum OK for j2sdk-1_3_1_06-linux-i586.bin.
===   linux-sun-jdk-1.3.1.06_1 depends on file:
/compat/linux/lib/libc.so.6 - found
ELF interpreter /compat/svr4/lib/ld-linux.so.2 not
found
Abort trap
*** Error code 134

I recieve the above error msg when I do a make install
clean on the linux java sun jdk13.I've typed Linux at
a shell promte and I get informed that the linux
driver is running. I've tried as a work around
creating a link from the svr4 to the linux folder
thinking it would find it in the correct place and
that would work.
I've also done a clean install and upgraded the
ports.. and that hasn't helped eithere.

I'm running freebsd 4.7 stable.

thank you for your help

Hi (and sorry for the previous mis-sage),

If I am not badly mistaken, a _linux_ ld can't reside in 
/compat/_svr4_/lib/.

Symlinking /compat/svr4 to /compat/linux may be a workaround, hmm...

I believe some (linux) ELF is misbranded as SVR4 (man brandelf(1)).

HTH,
