Hello,
I am going through our in house procecures for installing FreeBSD and
apps, as we are about to migrate to 5.3.
I just went through our Java chapter, and when I went to build the
native JDK 1.4, I forgot to mount linprocfs, which I thought I always
needed to do before; but the native JDK seemed to build successfully
anyway. Then I went one step further and tried it again by removing
Linux compatibility from my FreeBSD box, and native JDK still built with
any problems!
It seems like all you have to do anymore is copy the bsd-java tarball
and the three j2sdk tarballs to /usr/ports/distfiles and then run
"portinstall jdk" -- is this correct, or am I spacing out about how we
needed set up Linux Compatibility and linprocfs in the past?
I just need some confirmation before I update our in-house documentation.
Thanks a bunch,
Duane
