Hey guys. A couple of quick questions. The new JDK build want's ksh, so it'll have to be added to BLFS. Problem is, it requires several other packages from AT&T's open-ast project for the build of ksh only. I haven't looked into it too deeply (I'm seeking community approval for the alternative below), but I could add all of the packages to the book (ast-lib, nmake, pax, tw, sfio, INIT, and ksh). Debian provides a single source tarball (ksh_93r-orig.tar.gz) that includes INIT and ast-base (all of the above except INIT). Since the other ast open packages are used only for the build, does anyone have a problem with 1. using the Debian source tarball, and 2. calling the package ksh only since that is all that would be installed (or needed beyond build time)? That is unless anybody knows of an autotooled version of ksh that doesn't require ast-lib.
Thanks. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
