Bug 312643 – dev-java/icedtea can't bootstrap without =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0*

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Rebecca Menessec 2010-04-01 15:46:31 UTC]

I have dev-java/icedtea6-bin-1.7.2 installed, but apparently dev-java/icedtea can't bootstrap from that, nor from gcc.

java-overlay's dev-java/icedtea =6.* or =7.* seem willing to bootstrap without Sunacle tools, but appear to absolutely require X, which isn't going to fit on a headless machine with a small CF card as a sole pvol (my particular build scenario).

(If we're going to depend on sun-jdk, shouldn't it at least be 1.6.0* ?)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Attempt to emerge icedtea w/o Sunacle tools.
Actual Results:  
Failed emerge.

Expected Results:  
Bootstrap with no Sunacle dependencies.

spatha ~ # emerge -pv icedtea

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

And ideologically you don't want to accept the dlj-1.1 license?

It can bootstrap from that. Certain flag make it harder though, in this case USE="javascript" (I guess, since you delayed success providing emerge --info)

Tough luck, it just needs those X headers and libraries at build time, period. Try asking upstream if they care about creating headless build option (I guess not). Consider building on different machine and using binpkg?

See, there's no dependency on sun's jdk, just a 1.5 jdk, which happens to be satisfied by sun's.

USE="java6" will make hsqldb build with 1.6 jdk.

USE="-javascript" for icedtea will remove these deps altogether. Consider if you need javascript scripting in java?
