hey all, self-educating dummy here.
I can't find ibm-java-sdk anywhere, except in binary format. Even then emerge wants 6.0-9. 2-linux-ppc not 6.0.10.
Can anyone help me out with compiling this on my install? |

Unfortunately there is no source version of ibm-jdk available, nor was there in the past. |

IBM Java is closed-source. If you want to compile java, you want icedtea (aka OpenJDK) _________________ “And even in authoritarian countries, information networks are helping people discover new facts and making governments more accountable.”– Hillary Clinton, Jan. 21, 2010 |

You can bump the ibm-jdk-bin-1.6.0.9 ebuild to 1.6.0.10 yourself (copy it to a local overlay) and/or file a bump request bug. _________________ “And even in authoritarian countries, information networks are helping people discover new facts and making governments more accountable.”– Hillary Clinton, Jan. 21, 2010 |
