The actual problem lies in the linux-jdk13 port. It too requires that the JDK (in this case the Linux bundle from Sun) be downloaded manually. So, when the native port tries to build it as a dependency the linux-jdk13 port will just write a message that you need to download the JDK from Sun and exit (if you haven't downloaded it earlier), apparently successful. The native port then continues on with its business until the build actually starts when the lack of a bootstrapping JDK suddenly bites. The linux-jdk13 port actually needs to error when the distfiles aren't present instead of writing the message and exiting. Then the native port would detect this and stop, allowing the user to take the appropriate action. -- 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
