Is it possible to build jdk;java directly from openbsd: I always believed i had to "install" linux emulation first.
Thanks for the clarifications. On 1/9/07, J.C. Roberts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

I've been in no rush to build and install java, and in fact I've been dreading the idea for a couple months but since you're hitting problems, I decided to start on it after reading your post to see if I could help. In the handful of hours since my last reply, I've managed to download, build and install jdk 1.3 from ports and I've got 1.4 currently building while I type this. As you probably know, having a working JVM is a prerequisite for building 1.4 and 1.5. As soon as I get 1.4 built and installed, I'll start on 1.5 Like OpenOffice, building java seems to use a a lot of swap. How large is your swap partition/slice? My limits are (far) more conservative than yours: $ ulimit -a time(cpu-seconds) unlimited file(blocks) unlimited coredump(blocks) unlimited data(kbytes) 524288 stack(kbytes) 4096 lockedmem(kbytes) 315906 memory(kbytes) 946192 nofiles(descriptors) 64 processes 64 $ Lastly, as what user are you building the port? Kind Regards, JCR
