First of all, i would like to clarify that java related bugs in gentoo |
| 20 |
alpha aren't the first in our TODO list. This has a quite simple |
| 21 |
explanation: Only java virtual machine actually in portage is |
| 22 |
"java-compaq" which is not maintained upstream since 1.3.1, so try to |
| 23 |
solve bugs without upstream support and without new 1.4 (or 1.5) java |
| 24 |
branch could be very bad idea. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Summarizing: java bugs are always welcome (of course) but response might |
| 27 |
be very slow or non-existant. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
After this, I have to say that last month i was playing with java |
| 30 |
trying to make things work on alpha and i found same problem with |
| 31 |
__libc_wait. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I found a patch (in some alpha related malling list) that works fine for |
| 34 |
me, if you want give it a look: |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
- 1. Download the patch |
| 37 |
http://dev.gentoo.org/~yoswink/alpha/libcwait.c |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
- 2. Place where you want, and compile it with: |
| 40 |
gcc -shared -o libcwait.so libcwait.c -fpic -O |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
- 3. Preload the patch writing at the beginning of /opt/compaq-jdk/bin/java |
| 43 |
LD_PRELOAD=/path-to-file/libcwait.so |
| 44 |
export LD_PRELOAD |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
I would appreciate a lot that you report the results, maybe we could |
| 47 |
include it into the tree if it solves some of our problems. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I hope back to have some free time for Gentoo at the end of this month |
| 50 |
to continue playing with java and trying to get 1.4 branch in alpha. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
Bye and sorry again for the delay. |
