So maybe I'm being completely clueless here, but aren't there some
instructions somewhere on how to do the installation of Steve Byrne's port?
My first problem is that not being a Linux expert I have no idea whether I
should use the glibc or the libc5 version and I can't find any helpful files
that explain how I'm supposed to know which to use. Can I choose whichever I
want, and if so why would I choose one vs. the other, or do I have to get
the one to match my system (Redhat4.2), and if so how to I tell which one
matches?
So I grabbed both and looked around (1.1.5v7). There is the README file from
Sun which has no Linux specific information but does have installation
instructions for the platforms Sun supports. There is README.linux, which
talks about various things but doesn't have specific installation
instructions, and there's README.linux.src which has instructions for
re-porting from Sun's full source distribution, but no instructions for
installing Steve's prepared port.
If we are just supposed to follow the instructions for Solaris from Sun's
README, it'd be good if it said that somewhere. Maybe I just missed it.
Perhaps it is as easy as untar'ing and moving the resulting jdk1.1.5/
directory tree to the appropriate place in the file system? But again, I
didn't see that written anywhere. Am I just supposed to know that?
