jdk 1.4

[Ethan Killian]

Bill,

I have been working on an Eclipse 3.0 port so I just installed a fresh 
install of Java today on my 4.10 FreeBSD Box.  It did originally crash 
because I did not run the following first:

kldload linprocfs
mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc

Once these are loaded though, I did a 'make clean' and then 'make 
install' from the /usr/ports/java/jdk14/ directory and it completed.  
The thing catch is that you will also have to download the 
j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin file.  This applies to my previous email 
that I forgot to include.  Basically to build the native port, it uses 
the linux binary to help with the build process.

So, first run:

kldload linprocfs
mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc

Make sure you have all 4 files (in /usr/ports/distfiles)

j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin
<>j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip
j2sdk-1_4_2-bin-scsl.zip
bsd-jdk14-patches-6.tar.gz

Run 'make install' from the /usr/ports/java/jdk14/

If you are missing some of the files, it should tell you what you need 
to get and where to place the file.  This port is difficult to get 
installed because you have to manually fetch the files and register with 
sun.com to get them.  It did work for me today however when I installed 
this from scratch.  If you still get failures paste the error.

And I am running a Generic 4.10 kernel on the box I got the jdk14 
installed on today.
