jss-3.4-r1.ebuild


generation-2 ebuild for jss

[Comment 4 Neil Katin 2006-07-23 20:24:40 UTC]

Your patch would have worked for me, but jss is broken when emerging
on amd64.  At least not when using sun-jdk (I now see that ibm has
a 1.4 compatible amd64 compiler; I probably should have used that
one...).

The underlying cause is that jss links a native executable (64 bit on
amd64), and if your jdk is 32bit you are out of luck - they can't be
linked together.

Anyway, I attached a ebuild that uses your patch and is gen2 compatible,
so jss can be linked with a 64 bit java on amd64 machines.

Finally, jss-3.4 is a bit dated: there is now jss-3.7.  However, it seems
that mozilla doesn't package the source any more - they expect folks to
pull the source from CVS with a JSS_3_7_RTM tag.  Retrofitting the
ebuild to pull from CVS was a bit beyond my limited ebuild skills.

jss-3.4-r1 is migrated to generation 2, forces -target and -source to 1.4.
