Description Igor Golubev 2004-11-20 14:15:01 UTC 
I couldn't install jessie-1.0.0 on my system due to its problematic dependencies. It's not possible to disable building of AWT callbacks as it's not supported by the package's ebuild. If you have AWT classes which came with GNU Classpath, as I do, you will fail to emerge jessie with the following error message:

checking If we are building AWT callbacks... yes
checking for java.awt.Dialog class... configure: error: could not find AWT Dialog; check your CLASSPATH

The root cause of this error is that all classes in GNU Classpath come in one ZIP archive, rather than in JAR. Even though glibj.zip package exists in the CLASSPATH variable, it won't be recognized by autoconf, employed in jessie's configuration, as the AC_CHECK_CLASS macros tests the existence of a given Java class either in a jar or in a '.class' file only. It doesn't support ZIP archives. http://www.gnu.org/software/ac-archive/htmldoc/ac_check_class.html


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge blackdown-jdk
2.emerge gnu-classpath
3.ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge jessie

Comment 1 Kurt Lieber (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-20 14:17:48 UTC 
no idea why this was assigned to security.  re-assigning to bug wranglers.
Comment 2 Igor Golubev 2004-11-20 14:50:40 UTC 
One of possible workarounds for this propblem could be replacement of the:
        econf --with-java-target=1.4 || die
with thе:
        econf --with-java-target=1.4 --disable-awt || die
in the jessie-1.0.0.ebuild.
Comment 3 Karl Trygve Kalleberg (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-18 13:40:36 UTC 
Workaround applied.
