I thought I had build java from source code
succesfully until I tried some programs that
involved the awt package. I started to get
some run-time errors because the awt package was
not built correctly. So I tried to do a complete build
with :
make appletviewer jre_only
and the build failed.
The problem was that I had a missing/missnamed lib
from lesstif and the java makefiles didn't find it.
The file in question is:
libXm.a
The lesstif building process produces a libXm.so or
libXm.so.1-2 .... so the simplest solution is to
to create a link from libXm.so to libXm.a. The other
solution is to modify the makes of lesstif (which I
only explored superficially).
I have to thank Stephen Wynne for his help.
