Hi All, I have spent the day trying to install various linux distributions on virtual box on a macBook Pro to try to use J64. Needless to say, as with most of my linux experiences, it has been a complete waste of time and bandwidth.
I have managed to get Damn Small Linux (DSL) working, but it complains that the Jconsole binary cannot be executed. I tried to install Java on it, but gave up after an hour. Then I installed Arch Linux 64, but could not get it to connect to the internet. Ubuntu complains that the kernel is for x86 rather than i686 so that does not work, I cannot find an Ubuntu which has got the i686 kernel. What is involved in making a 64 bit J64 bit binary for the Mac anyway? Is it possible to just put the source code onto a 64 bit mac and press compile/build to make a dmg file and upload it to the download page for J? Thanks, Matthew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
