Missing '-version' breaks build of OpenOffice..
Hi guys Just discovered to my horror that the configure script in OpenOffice relies on passing '-version' to javac to check that it is the right software to use with it. This problem seen on both intel and sparc platforms (1.3.1 and 1.3.0 respectively). Any plans to sort this out? Doing 'javac -version' works fine for Sun Microsystem's Java2 1.3.1. PS: I'm still waiting for 1.3.1 to be released for sparc-linux - look, if you haven't got the time, then give me the sources and I will be happy to test and report back. I've already signed up for the SCSL and got the sources for 1.3.1 on intel-linux, all I need is the sparc-linux code. Cheers, A Very Frustrated Programmer -- Love is good.

Re: Missing '-version' breaks build of OpenOffice..
This is the kind of thing that really slows down Java development! And some try to say that open source developers have a bias against Java! Nonsense. I understand that we are all constrained by larger forces here and that Sun doesn't have it in them to go all the way (i.e. GPL). If those of you who work at Sun could just let your managers know our pain? Perhaps we could have easier access to the sources, all of them?

Yeah, I only realised this was the case 10 minutes ago. Anyway, looks like the problem is with OpenOffice's configure script. For some stupid reason it seems to want to do javac -version, and if it's not there.. > The simple fix/workaround is to pass this option to "java" VIA "javac" > using the "-J" option: > > javac -J-version That's useful to know though, thanks for this. -- Love is good.

In fact, it isn't even possible to develop Java 1.2+ compliant code on a modern Mac, unless it is running OSX. There has never been any Java version that could be run on a Macintosh Classic. Or do you mean on "Classic" MacOS (MacOS 9.x and less, as opposed to OSX)? In which case the answer is still no. And why are you asking this list about it? Linux could never be run on a Macintosh Classic either. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linuxppc 2000Q4 was purchased for use on the Mac. Comments on the linuxppc.org web site suggested that Java 3D software ,available from Blackdown, could be run under Linuxppc. So I joined this list in anticipation that I could ask others about the possibilities. If the non-profit Foundation that I work with could diversify away from Apple products and obtain Sun or IBM equipment then it would be far easier for me to develop Java 2+ scripts on linux. Presently the Foundation does not have such resources. I hope this helps explain why I asked the question on this list as it is the Foundation's objective to develop Java 2+ code.

They all use 68000 processors, which lack a PMMU. I've heard of projects where a PMMU has been manages to be emulated, but considering the other limitations of the hardware (4 MB of RAM, for example) it hardly seems worth the bother. :-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
