Hello,
I am attempting to port JDK1.1.7 to a Linux environment on the SA-1100 platform,
and as a preliminary exercise, I am attempting to duplicate Blackdown's successful
efforts at porting the JDK to the i386 Linux environment. As a first step, I have the
Sun distribution of JDK1.1.7 via a software agreement, and I have in place all the
pre-requisites described in Steve Byrne's README.linux.src description and in the
README file for the JDK1.1.7 source release from Sun.
My problem is that when I applied the patches from Blackdown, there were errors and I
want to understand why. I applied the patches in the file I downloaded from the ftp
site:
jdk-1_1_7-v1a_diffs.gz
There were two problems I saw when the patch was executed:
First, an error terminated the patch:
Patching file src/genunix/bin/appletviewer.sh using Plan A...
patch: **** malformed patch at line 2846: \ No newline at end of file
Second, when patches were applied until the error occured, they were accompanied by a
message like the following:
Patching file build/minclude/sunw.jmk using Plan A...
Hunk #1 succeeded at 2.
Hmm... The next patch looks like a unified diff to me...
I would like to know why both of these problems occurred in what should be a
straightforward procedure. Do I have a different release of JDK 1.1.7 than
Blackdown used? If so, I would appreciate a little more information about
how the patches were applied to the Sun source distribution.
