Bug 66260 – teapop's java support checking will fail on non-x86 arches

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jason Wever (RETIRED) 2004-10-03 16:01:56 UTC]

Due to the way teapop's configure script checks for java, it will always fail on non-x86 arches.  In looking for libjvm.so, it tests for the presence of the file in semi-hardcoded paths with i386 in them (i.e. $java/jre/lib/i386/server/libjvm.so)

Right now I'm seeing two ways to handle this (but obviosuly it is up to you folks);

1) Disable java for non-x86 until upstream gets it's testing paths fixed
2) Add in additional checks for where libjvm.so would live for other arches

Anyone alive over in net-mail to comment on this?

I'd say let arches supply their java paths and we can then alter the configure script to include those. Anyone, objections?

commodore64 opt # slocate libjvm.so
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so

I think if you substitute i386 for amd64 you should be good for amd64. Blackdown is the only currenly unmasked jre/jdk on amd64.

On SPARC, our libjvm is at either;

/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/sparc/server/libjvm.so
/opt/blackdown-jdk-1.4.1/jre/lib/sparc/client/libjvm.so

or

/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.1/jre/lib/sparc/server/libjvm.so
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.1/jre/lib/sparc/client/libjvm.so

depending on whether the jre or jdk is installed.

As in 2006.0 SPARC no longer has java support, removing CC

Please reopen if this is still relevant.
