build a port that depends on Java
Hi,
I am going to build a port (named `vue`, http://vue.tufts.edu/) that depends on
Java libraries but I don't know how to set the dependencies (the RUN_DEPENDS
variable in `Makefile`). I know some kinds of Java and don't know which one
should be used. At least, Vue works well with OpenJDK6.
Another problem is that the original file for port is in `.zip` format. As far
as I know `.zip` isn't natively supported in FreeBSD. Should I convert that
file to `.tar.gz` format and redistribute in my site (instead of using file
from VUE master site?). Though using
EXTRACT_DEPENDS=unzip:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/unzip is possible I think such
usage is so expensive :)
Thank you for your helps,
Regards,

Unkless you are building some kind of embeded system where every byte
on disk is important, just install unzip, it's harmless, and save you
the burden to repackage the port every time they come up with a new
version.

You want to have a look at the Makefiles of other programs that use
java. E.g azureus
$ less /usr/ports/net-p2p/azureus/Makefile

I think that you use:
USE_ZIP=yes
It's mentioned in the porter's handbook which you should read. You can
also find out by looking at a Makefile again E.g print/cm-super
The porter's handbook tells you how to go about writing a Makefile. Any
questions you may have about porting software should be addressed to
ports@, IIRC.

Thank you. azureus' Makefile is very comprehensive.

I've just seen that and some other USER_* in handbook :)
