Is eclipse supported on sparc yet ??
I've tried emerging eclipse-jdt-bin and eclipse-platform-bin, but the /opt/eclipse/eclipse created just won't run.

It appears to be a binary if you look into the file, but I'm a little suspicious it's the wrong type of binary. First 4 chars in the file are 0x7f, E,L,F. Does that look OK for a sparc binary ? |

As of pretty recently, there is no out of the box version of Eclipse for
sparc linux.
The trivial problem is that there is no eclipse program file for sparc linux;
more vexing is that there are no shared libraries for sparc linux.
That said: if you really want eclipse for sparc linux, you can build your
own. You will need to start with the source distribution and tear it apart to
add sparc linux support. This is fairly tedious, and you should expect to
spend a couple days at it, but the end result runs. Hardest part is chasing
down the pieces you need to build the libraries.
To get you started, here is what I finally came up with as the pieces you
need:
| Code: |
ferris@lacewing:SOURCES/ECLIPSE/PLAT_SRC [256]% ls
total 676
4 ./ 44 atk_structs.c 4 library/ 276 os.c 4 swt_awt.c
4 ../ 8 atk_structs.h 4 make_common.mak 4 os.h 88 xpcom.cpp
8 Makefile 4 build.sh 8 make_gtk.mak 24 os_custom.c
16 atk.c 16 callback.c 24 make_gtk.ps 76 os_structs.c
4 atk.h 4 callback.h 4 make_gtk.xml 12 os_structs.h
16 atk_custom.c 12 gnome.c 4 org/ 4 swt.h

I'm pretty sure this isn't what you wanted to hear, but I still think it's pretty
accurate. Check eclipse's home site for more current information. |
