Hi,

Thus wrote Renju Mathew (m.re...@teles.com):

I built binaries for NetBSD 5.0 that are available via the openjdk-bin

package in pkgsrc, but not for earlier releases (although I probably

should build a NetBSD-4 version, since that's still an officially

supported release train).

I'd expect openjdk to just build on NetBSD-3, see

http://ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/spz/openjdk/openjdk7-howto <http://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/spz/openjdk/openjdk7-howto>

for a recipy. Once you scrub your environment(*) it's fairly

straightforward, it just takes a while to build.

The patch I needed for the openjdk version I put onto ftp.NetBSD.org has

since been integrated, so that one isn't necessary any more; but as lots of

new code has been added, too, there's chance of entirely new fun to be had.

:-P

regards,

spz

(*) variables like eg $BIN get used as conditional, and the script that

sets them as a "yes" indicator doesn't unset them as a "no" indicator, so

if you already had them set because you use them differently, you get

surprising results. If I had lots more time I'd want to hunt them all down.
