Andrew's overlay (from http://iced-tea.org/wiki/GentooBuildInstructions)
- The ebuild actually depends on having gcj-jdk installed and set as active VM (missing in DEPEND)
- need to create a link from /usr/bin/ecj-3.3 to /usr/bin/ecj - otherwhise the javac symlink in gcj-jdk points to nowhere.
- need to add following to the ebuild in src_compile():
Code:
        LIBFFI_CFLAGS="-I/usr/lib64/gcj-4.3.0/include"
        LIBFFI_LIBS="-L/usr/lib64/gcj-4.3.0/lib64 -lffi"
        export LIBFFI_CFLAGS LIBFFI_LIBS

It configures and starts compiling fine using gcj+ecj, but errors out later in the build process compiling the c++ files, not finding ffi.h (seems autofoo is broken there, configure did find ffi lib/headers)


Now.. removing gcj-jdk, gcj and all stuff from andrew's overlay again, and trying geki's overlay - without gcj first.
Code:
 * Using: sun-jdk-1.6
...some coffe later...
 * Setting 64bit nsplugin to icedtea-6

YAY!

I upgraded sun-jdk and still got the same error. I managed to get that line to compile by increasing the javac heap size by using "-J-Xms1000m -J-Xmx1000m" and running javac from the command line. Is there some way I can get the ebuild to use this option? I tried setting JAVACFLAGS but it didn't do anything..
Oh and I assume you guys are talking about the java-gcj-overlay from layman, right?

emerald you may test and send patches

Need4Speed JAVACFLAGS should not be used. I wonder...

ok, there was some makefile code for java heap sizing. hardwired '-J-Xmx512m' for now.
edit dev-java/icedtea/files/bootstrap_fix-heapsize-so-we-get-happy-please-thanks.diff to increase it if it still fails with 512m.
though, 512m should suffice.

rev.6175

Any chance we can get this into portage? I think a lot of people would benefit from it since it's the only stable 64bit browser plugin..

Sorry changed the link to the more appropriate:

http://fuseyism.com/hg/libre_java_overlay/

You can go to that URL and download a zip or tarball if you don't want to install Mercurial.
The IcedTea6 build differs from the one in java-experimental in being based on OpenJDK6,
which provides a FOSS version of 1.6, rather than being based on OpenJDK, which provides
1.7. 1.7 doesn't even have a JSR yet.

After installing gcj-jdk and then icedtea6, I have:

The following VMs are available for generation-2:
1) GCJ 4.3.0 [gcj-jdk-4.3]
*) OpenJDK/IcedTea 1.1 [icedtea6-1.1]

IcedTea6 will build on x86, x86_64, ppc and ppc64. In fact, it should do ARM, MIPS and SPARC too but I haven't added these tags yet, as I haven't tested it on these archs myself.
The IcedTea and GCJ builds are based on those in java-experimental and java-gcj-overlay respectively.
The main differences are:

1. The GCJ is 4.3 as released, not a random snapshot as in the java-gcj-overlay. It also doesn't require ecj to build (creating a circular dependency problem),
but works as it should with the downloadable ecj (manual gcc builds use contrib/download_ecj to get this). It uses the ecj1 package for this. You can
remove this once you've properly installed eclipse-ecj using the gcj-jdk as long as you fix the symlink in /usr/share/java.
2. IcedTea6 doesn't require Mercurial and is a production JDK unlike OpenJDK. This will ship with Fedora 9 for example in place of OpenJDK.
3. There is a fixed version of Ant which doesn't demonstrate the bug https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217572. This bug breaks the OpenJDK build
working, because it ignores the JAVA_HOME specified by the OpenJDK build.

I'll try and continue to check here, but you can also mail me: gnu_andrew@member.fsf.org.

BTW, I don't get why the name of this thread was changed.
gcj-jdk is still required to be able to build IcedTea6, you can't build without a JDK...

The eclipse-ecj build in the overlay does:

dosym /usr/bin/${MY_PN}-${SLOT} /usr/bin/${MY_PN}

which adds /usr/bin/ecj. You must be using the main tree version, which is broken.

right, one needs a jdk-1.6 compatible, not especially gcj-jdk. ;)

It worked fine to bootstrap with that one. My problem was with g++/ld compiling/linking against libffi. You can trick ./configure by setting the paths manually (see my post above) - but that still will not make it compile.

Yes, I didn't understand your point on libffi...

* IcedTea6 only needs it if you are not on x86/amd64 -- what arch are you on?
* On ppc64 I didn't need any special options for it to pick up libffi (although that was a pre-ebuild manual install).

Indeed, but gcj is the only one that seems to be packaged by Gentoo as a JDK. IIRC, the Kaffe one was too dated.

I noticed some fonts that look fine in windows are really ugly in OpenJDK. It seems like it mainly affects bold fonts. Is this a bug or do I just need to install some fonts?

other font setup may help.

btw, has anyone tried icedtea (6.1.1 from java-overlay) with doc use-flag?
for me it bails out with
Code:

IcedTea is served: openjdk/control/build/linux-amd64
>>> Source compiled.
>>> Test phase [not enabled]: dev-java/icedtea-6.1.1

>>> Install icedtea-6.1.1 into /home/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-6.1.1/image/ category dev-java
 *
 * ERROR: dev-java/icedtea-6.1.1 failed.
 * Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_install
 *             environment, line 5158:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *           dohtml -r docs/* || die;
 *  The die message:
 *   (no error message)
 *
 * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
 * A complete build log is located at '/home/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-6.1.1/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/home/tmp/portage/dev-java/icedtea-6.1.1/temp/environment'.
 *
!!! When you file a bug report, please include the following information:
GENTOO_VM=sun-jdk-1.6  CLASSPATH="" JAVA_HOME=""
JAVACFLAGS="" COMPILER=""
and of course, the output of emerge --info

:(
