Well, I made it to the point of mozilla reporting "failed to exec
'java_vm'". I don't know how far I can get in debugging this at this point,
as my knowledge of how to debug mozilla is rather scanty, but I offer the
observation that the 'java_vm' executable gets placed into the
'native_threads' section of the filepath where no other files seem to be
located.
quid:~/src/jdk-1.3.1/j2sdk1.3.1/build/bsd-i386$ find . -name java_vm -print
./bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm
./jre-image-i386/bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm
./jdk-image-i386/jre/bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm
./jdk-image-i386/bin/i386/native_threads/java_vm
That raise any flags to anybody?
