This is the only problem I had. If you haven't got linux-jdk13 installed the build doesn't stop, it simply prints the message about where to get the distribution from and continues on. This needs to be fixed. Also, its easier to install the Linux JDK with the linux-jdk13 port, rather than installing it yourself... > 1) Extract the j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar.gz that I downloaded from Sun. > > 2) Track down all the LongLinks and truncated filenames (because Sun > probably used their stupid legacy "tar" utility from Solaris to generate > the tarball, which can't handle long filenames) and restore them to > their proper locations.

This isn't the case. All you need to do is to extract with gtar, which the port is set up to do. pax(1) can also do the job. > 4) Update JDK_PATCHSET_VERSION in the Makefile to version 5 (since I > started with patchlevel 4).

While I appreciate you had difficulties, the port does take care of most of this automatically, with the one exception I noted above. This is not to say the port is perfect, its not. I don't agree that its as broken as you say though. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Phone : (801) 765 1887 Information Technology Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
