Hi Steve and the Java-Linux team,
We've been running into some strange crashes and native thread problems
with JDK 1.2 on a glibc-2.1.1 system (two-way x86 SMP). Since we're
completely stuck when things like this break, I decided to go ahead and
get the sources for JDK 1.2 from Sun and apply your patches, so I can
build my own version from scratch. Having the sources should help us
find and fix some of these bugs ourselves, hopefully.
The sources I got from Sun were JDK v1.2.2, however, not v1.2, so the
patch set from Blackdown did not go in cleanly. I did a bit of work
tonight to apply the rejected chunks by hand and the sources are compiling
as we speak. I noticed a number of the changes made for Linux to v1.2 have
already made their way into the Sun 1.2.2 tree.
I got the v1.2.2 sources from Sun because that's all that was offered to
me on the website after agreeing to the SCSL. If you know how I can get
an older v1.2 tree that would be helpful too.
In case I run into problems, have you (or anyone else) tried to port
Sun's v1.2.2 tree to Linux? It would save me a lot of effort if I can
get the patches. Otherwise, I will send you a new patch set against
1.2.2 sometime very soon (I hope!)
Cheers,
