about building jdk-1.[45] on -current

[Clarence Chu]

hi there,

there seems no problems at all on building jdk-1.[45] on -current:

1) get a jdk-1.[45] tbz on 6.* and pkg_add it
2) try running "java -version" on -current and watch for libs missing.
3) use /etc/libmap.conf to remap the missing libs to the ones on -current
4) for jdk-1.4.2, use symlinks  to point gcc-4.2 binaries to gcc-3.4.6 ones

why there are so much noises on building jdks on -current,

that's all i'd done three weeks ago to make everything work.

even eclipse-3.2.2 had been built using source=1.4 and target=1.4.

and OOo-2.2.0 had been built too so as azureus-3, etc.

it would be a nice to have  ppc/sparc64 ports soon, don't you think so?

Best wishes

Clarence CHU
