JDK 1.3 loop?

[Martin Jessa]

Hi.

Got this annoying error trying to compile jdk-1.3
Seems like a new installation of jdk-1.3 needs an existing installation of java for bootstrapping, which sounds absurd.

===>   Returning to build of jdk-1.3.1p8_2
===>   jdk-1.3.1p8_2 depends on executable: gmake - found
===>   jdk-1.3.1p8_2 depends on shared library: glib12.3 - found

===>   jdk-1.3.1p8_2 depends on shared library: nspr4.1 - found
===>  Configuring for jdk-1.3.1p8_2

       just unset it, and start your build again.

Exiting because of the above error(s).
