[OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 8 plugin for Firefox
Hello, A few days ago I downloaded the latest sources of openjdk8in order to build a 32bit binary. The build process finished and it created the required images. Now, there is no file libnpjp2.soso there is no Java plugin for Firefox. I have also checked jdk1.8.0_31 and there is no file libnpjp2.so there! Now according to the following Web page: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/install/linux_plugin.html there is Java plugin for both i386 and amd64 systems! My simple question is: Where is the Java plugin?

I meant that no one had paid attention to updating the web pages and instructions for external people to build the desktop since OpenSolaris died. The only reason that page exists is because I migrated it from OpenSolaris - no one else cared to, and no one else seems to notice if I update the hg repo or not. -alan- On 04/28/15 07:58 AM, Hans J Albertsson wrote: Is the desktop dying, then?

At this time we have no plans to EOL the Oracle Solaris desktop - it's what our developers still use, as well as some of our customers, but I cannot speak on behalf of my employer nor make any formal commitments there - speak to a sales rep if you need those. As for OpenIndiana, as an observer, it seems about as healthy as the rest of the OI project. -alan- ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

On 28/04/2015 16:58, Hans J Albertsson wrote: Is the desktop dying, then? Solaris still actively delivers and develops the desktop part, that means, the spec files are current state. No, that does not depend on Sun rays, they are EOL already... Alexander compiles at least parts of X11 for /hipster, so he has a working scheme how to build it there. Milan Jurik has the full JDS as delivered in /dev oi151a9, but sadly, has retired from work. This would be the one you need to reproduce firefox as build by Oracle, as that relies (on basis of the Sun spec files) on Sunstudio compiled libraries. But if the Sun spec files are now build against newer Studio releases than 12.1 (which Milan used), they may lack now patches necessary for the older compiler. Since I suspect you want (and better) build with gcc against the /hipster release, the Oracle spec files are only a guideline, as gcc probably doesn't need all the patches there (or different variants). So I think the best start is to build firefox with gcc on /hipster, and sort out those patches from Sun that are Studio-specific and keep those for Solaris peculiarities and try repeated build/test cycles, until you have it stable. Aristopoulos has gone this way, and seems to be quite near a working firefox for /hipster. For now, it may be possible to gather all CC Studio compiled libraries firefox needs (not that much, as most of the stuff is clean C that should be interchangeable between compilers) from oi151a9, collect them in a single directory on /hipster, 'env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/that_directory firefox', and the Oracle delivered firefox should work as expected (apart from libstdc++.so.6 and libgcc_s.so.1, which may be need to be drawn from omniOS, since there's something wrong with them on oi151 since a while, I need that workaround for MongoDB). For the long run, the desktop situation is quite bad for OI, it may be working for a while to just keep the existing stuff (which is not that bad) with the given build system (if someone understands and maintains it), but further development needs a capable expert for that huge batch, which we currently don't have after Milan resigned. At least working firefox/thunderbird packages would be a relief and may carry us a few years forward. -- Dr.Udo Grabowski Inst.f.Meteorology Climate Research IMK-ASF-SAT http://www.imk-asf.kit.edu/english/sat.php KIT - Karlsruhe Institute of Technology http://www.kit.edu Postfach 3640,76021 Karlsruhe,Germany T:(+49)721 608-26026 F:-926026 ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
