As for the dependencies in the jdk/1.5 port, it varies based on arch and port flavor you want to build. There was a post to the ports@ mailing list recently regarding changes in the dependencies. In general, you need a jvm to build one. In the case of the jdk/1.5 port on 4.0-STABLE, it tends to use kaffe rather than Sun on most flavors other than the "native-bootstrap" flavor. BTW, if your goal is to have a working java plugin for mozilla/firefox I suggest you read /usr/ports/devel/jdk/1.5/pkg/MESSAGE-amd64 "NOTE: The plugin does not work on amd64 yet." Well, the 1.4 port completed it's build, installed successfully and surprisingly enough, actually runs. ;-) $ java -version java version "1.4.2-p7" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-p7-_09_jan_2007_05_58) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-p7-_09_jan_2007_05_58, mixed mode) $ I've hit a different problem than yours while trying to build jdk/1.5, well more accurately, trying to build the lang/kaffe dependency mentioned above.
