Your choices are: 1. Install linux-sun-jdk14 (or another Linux JDK 1.4). 2. Install a jdk14 package for FreeBSD 6.x and also install misc/compat6x. 3. Hack on the jdk14 source until gcc 4.x is happy with it (many of the changes you need to make will show up in the jdk15 source). The main issue is the HotSpot C++ code. 4. Hack on the jdk14 source so that it can be compiled with a compiler whose executable is called e.g. gcc34/g++34 rather than gcc/g++ and make the port depend on an older gcc port on 7.x. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
