I think it is a mistake to base things on the linux port. In all of my experience with various linux ports, they have introduced more problems into the porting process than they have solved. I believe that the Solaris port is cleaner and closer to standard than any linux port ever will be. Of course, that is just my opinion. I am proceeding based on the Solaris port. I had to fix one obvious problem in the make files (buildATree.make used the wrong quoting convention) and am currently working on the os/bsd/vm directory. Anyone who knows anything about shell scripting would have found the error in buildATree.make and fixed it instead of inventing a whole new way to do it as the linux folk felt compelled to do. Just one example of gratuitous changes that linux porting induces. OK, enough ranting. Back to work. /Joe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
