Re: Aurora 2.0 Java? (UltraSPARC 2)

I tried to do a cross-compile of the Java source, but I may have gotten the
process wrong (never tried to cross-compile anything before).  The big
problem is that the source is not self-bootstrapping.  You have to have a
*working* copy of 5 installed locally, in addition to headers for ALSA,
CUPS, and all the regular build tools(gcc, etc), to build any of it.  I had
the same issues you noted below on Debian after upgrading to Etch.
Evidently some upgraded libraries have broken Blackdown.  If someone can get
Java to compile for SPARC/Linux, I would be just about the happiest person
in the world.

Can you send the Java source?  I'd be happy to try to compile and run
whatever is failing...

Scot,

  I'm not up on all the different Sparc architectures, but I'm guessing that
the Ultra 5 isn't a 64bit processor.  Either way, do you know if there are
any special hoops to jump through to get the 32bit binary to run with the
libraries installed on the sparc64 arch?

I've been using the blackdown port of 1.4.1 (hadn't really tried the gcj
version).  Keep in mind I have done very little with it (as in mostly
nothing) as I need newer VMs like 1.6...  I wish a more modern version were
available as I'd probably do more with my Ultra 5's...

I've been away from the Aurora project for a while, so I hope my questions
aren't lame....

I have an UltraSPARC 2 Enterprise box I'm trying to bring up with Aurora
Linux.  The 2.0 version seemed to install fine, though I had to use the Text
install, since X wouldn't start up on the video adapter in the box.  That's
another issue though.

Now that I have it up and running pretty smoothly, I'm wondering, what is
the state of Java in the Aurora 2.0 release on the UltraSPARC?  I've been
trying to figure out the packages, and see some GCJ stuff ("This script is a
placeholder for the /usr/bin/java...") but no real java.  I tried the
Blackdown version, but that blew up with a signal 11, even after installing
the compat-libstdc++ package.  (I'm guessing it's related to the 32/64 bit
userspace libs).  I'm using "yum" to install and update packages, though I'm
not positive I have all the right repositories.

Just looking for a starting point to begin looking.
