Hi, Paul
I believe that to build for 64 bit, you would have to build (or
maybe download from openjdk.java.net somewhere) an openjdk-7. I'm
pretty sure there are bugs in openjdk-6 that will cause Chandler to
crash, so we're sort of stuck with the newer version.
Chandler gas been built on gutsy 64 before. I expect it build on hardy
64 just as well. As for openjdk 6, I didn't know it existed. If it's
just an open source version of Java 1.6 then I
expect no problems there either. PyLucene is known to work with Java
1.3 to 1.7.
Andi..
In general, I would love to have the ability to build Chandler's
dependencies as .deb or .rpm packages, possibly via a build service.
A while back, when OSAF had a large paid developer staff, we looked
into doing this, c.f.:
http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/UbuntuHardyHeronChandler
(I think that page was written before we had an openjdk dependency,
so that should be added).
I'd love to hear from people who have Linux build/packaging
knowledge and want to help make this happen. I have some experience
working with dpkg for creating our Gutsy .deb, but I'm unsure how to
handle cases where we're using more recent or patched versions of
the packaged version of various projects (like openjdk, wxPython,
for example).

Hi all,
having a go at building chandler for my up-to-date Ubuntu laptop
(as opposed to Feisty or Gutsy). Doing this of course because
though the project has gotten to a 1.0 release, there doesn't
appear to have been much regard for the diversity of user OS's out
there. I'm not shy and will have a go at building, but just imagine
how many more users you'd have if you just put some effort into
making binaries for current Linux distros!
Anyhoo, I checked out 1.0 from subversion and have been running the
build successfully so far. I'm using the "make world" command to
build. For some reason the build script wants to download http://builds.osafoundation.org/external/linux/x86_64/openjdk-7-ea-j2re-b21-3.tar.gz
, which naturally doesn't exist.
What's the workaround for this? I already have openjdk-6-jdk on my
system, and as openjdk-7 is not final I'm curious as to the
dependency for a stable Chandler release.
Thanks in advance. When I get Chander 1.0 working on my system I'll
be sure to report back on my experience (I could even provide
a .deb for you if it would be useful).
Paul (really looking forward to GTD with Chandler!)
