My understanding of the Eclipse problem is really limited. That said, |
| 18 |
I think that Eclipse uses some framework named SWT, for the GUI. SWT |
| 19 |
is somehow part of Java. And SWT uses GTK. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
So I tried to do a source build of Java in the prefix, hoping that SWT |
| 22 |
would then use the up-to-date GTK in the prefix. I went for OpenJDK 11. |
| 23 |
In the end this failed because net-print/cups is pulled in, and that |
| 24 |
ebuild fails because it tries to install files outside the prefix. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
I tried putting -cups in make.conf and in other places, but the cups |
| 27 |
dependency seems unavoidable. |
