Anselm> Is IcedTea based on the Sun source code? http://iced-tea.org/wiki/FrequentlyAskedQuestions
" What is IcedTea? "Not all of the source code that makes up the JDK is available under an open-source license. In order to build an OpenJDK binary from source code, you must first download and install one or more of the following files from which the build process will copy over 'binary plugs' for these encumbered components." (from http://openjdk.java.net/) IcedTea is a build harness for the OpenJDK that provides stubs and GNU Classpath replacements for the encumbered binary plugs, and allows the OpenJDK to be bootstrapped against GCJ. It is not a fork of the OpenJDK, and doesn't contain the OpenJDK source code." Someone brought up this post below with regards to this issue. I lack enough skill currently to implement such a solution. Has anyone made a patch for dwm along these lines? Maybe I've overlooked it: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.haskell.xmonad/1790 Sylvain> Get the java code, try to compile it with 100% open source tools... Yeah, obviously I don't really want to be using java. However, I use SuperCollider (http://supercollider.sourceforge.net/ ) to do realtime audio stuff. On Linux, SwingOSC is the only way to use GUI code written by people on Macs or Windows. To be able to play with other people's work, and for them to be able to use mine, I'm stuck with SwingOSC for the moment. I'd like to have an alternative (and may eventually write it myself), but in the meantime I still want to be able to play with that GUI code while using dwm. Icedtea seems like the most ethical choice, and it was already packaged as well. Too bad it doesn't seem to solve the issue. So, again, any suggestions? Renick -- Renick Bell http://the3rd2nd.com
