You only need linprocfs in order to build jdk14, because bootstrapping a java compiler requires a java compiler (i.e. we use a linux binary jdk). If you already had jdk14 installed before you tried to build OO, you wouldn't need to compile another jdk. Ah, that explains it! Thanks. Just like GCC in a way, except GCC doesn't need GCC (last time I built it from scratch) but you *do* have to compile it with itself again. I may as well have another go in that case, although OOo works without it. -- Dave ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
