Wow! Indeed that works. To make it work, add a blackdown mirror to your sources.list, apt-get source j2re1.3 then fetch the j2sdk-1.3.1-02d-FCS-linux-ppc.bin and copy it in the j2se1.3-powerpc-1.3.1.02b directory that apt-get source created. Then enter that dir, add a line to the top of ./debian/changelog, like j2se1.3-powerpc (1.3.1.02d-1) unstable; urgency=low * new upstream release (gcc 3.2 compiled) -- Soeren Sonnenburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun, 9 Nov 2003 16:00:21 -0700 and fakeroot ./debian/rules binary install the wanted packages afterwards and now you have java 1.3 for gcc3.x compiled mozilla and friends :-) Thanks a lot for this tip Rob !
