Re: does java needs linux base?
You need a linux jdk tp build the native one. * Jorge Mario G. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [0937 05:37]: Hi there I built the native java from ports and I see it uses the linux_base which I dont want because I'm running out of space can I remove it??? completely?? and how by the way I mean all the linux_base and itss dependencies Jorge = _ Do You Yahoo!?

I'm sure I read that Sun had finally given in and let the project distribute one Only for the JDK 1.3.1 which has passed the compliance suite tests and been licensed for distribution -- see http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml Unfortunately the 1.3.1 JDK isn't suitable for compiling the 1.4.2 JDK. I've heard that the FreeBSD Java people have run the latest JDK 1.4.2 port through the compliance testing suite unofficially and they reckon it would pass hands down. Unfortunately, it takes money to get the licensing sorted, and the project has to rely on donations in order to afford that.

Re: does java needs linux base?
From: Dick Davies [EMAIL PROTECTED] You need a linux jdk tp build the native one. ... but once the native JDK is installed, you can remove the Linux version. can I remove it??? completely?? and how by the way I mean all the linux_base and itss dependencies If nothing but the Linux JDK was using the Linux emulator, then you can remove it. Use pkg_info | grep linux to find out which Linux emulator packages are installed and pkg_delete to remove them. To make sure nothing is using the linux_base package, use pkg_info -R. -- Toomas Aas | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Boy, that lightning came a little clo-!!***NO CARRIER ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
