I need to install the native support for jdk117. I have read the "Java Linux
Native Threads Pack", "README.linux for JDK117" and the
"[EMAIL PROTECTED] FAQ" but am unable to find a more detail
discription of the installation instructions of the JDE and RT packages.
The best description I found was form the README.linux-JDK117...
>To install the native threads package, you need to first download
>the JDK, JRE, RT and install that. Next, you need to get the matching
>native threads package and install that into the same location.
>Finally, to use the native threads version of the JVM, you need
>to set the THREADS_FLAG environment variable to "native"
Unpacking these packages in order, JDK, JRE, RT and JDK-native, creates three
directories in my build path, (/usr/local/) jdk117_v1a, jre117_v1a and
rt117_v1a. After inspecting the directory trees and the files they contain, it
appears that installing the "jdk_1.1.7-v1a-glibc-x86-native.tar.gz" installs
all the same directories and files that both jre117_v1a and rt117_v1a contain.
I guess what I'm asking is, if I install the JDK and JDK-native packages, why
do I need the JRE and the RT packages?
Also, if I do need both of the JDR and RT packages, how do I use them? Do I
place the files in the $(JDK)/bin and $(JDK)/lib respectively or set some
environmental vars?
