gentoo 1.4-rc1 mozilla java plugin ebuild?

sepp · Guru Joined: 11 Jul 2002 Posts: 330

I've browsed through all the gentoo forums and the only thing I found about compiling java plugin for mozilla gcc3.2 is, to do it on your own following the steps on http://tushar.lfsforum.org/javafromscratch.txt. But I want to stick with ebuilds. so finally I found sun-j2sdk-1.4.0.ebuild. the down side is, that compile breaks after 3 hours!
I also read something about getting gcc3.2 binaries from mozilla.org but couldn't find anything. If you have a link, please share with me.
Anyone having a working ebuild, please share aswell.

CHEERS!

Can't say for sure that it works yet since Mozilla is still building on another box. But I have java in my USE variables and the mozilla build grabbed blackdown-1.3.1 when I emerged galeon.

Ooh, ooh,ooh. Moz just completed without errors. Maybe that will do it for you. Again, I haven't run it yet but the build went okay.

well, blackdown got emerged here aswell. the plugin is even in the right directory. but after bringing mozilla up and going to help->about plugins, it's not in the list

Me too; I'm running Mozilla 1.1, and I've emerged both GPLFlash and the Blackdown JDK and put symlinks to the plugins in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/, but they don't show up in About Plugins. Funny thing is, I emerged Plugger, and that does show up. Odd... Very odd.

Not entirely sure if it matters or not, but have you followed the instructions here to get your java environment setup correctly.

this doesn't have anything to do with java-config. it's a gcc 3.2 issue.

I know about the binary incompatibility issues with the mozilla java plugin and gcc 3.2, that is dealing with suns java not blackdown.

Ok you guys aren't compiling your just emerging, in that case no java plugin currently works with mozilla compiled with gcc 3.2 that I know of. You will have to compile the java plugin yourself by following the link mentioned above.

the link you mentioned above just shows how to set a default vm. there's no talk about compiling java. it just says "if you run emerge dev-java/sun-jdk-1.3.1 or emerge dev-java/ibm-jdk-1.3.1 ..." so it will emerge, not compile.

but I'm open to be proved wrong and finally have a solution

No I was referring to your link.

I want only the mozilla plugin, so I guess it's not really worth compiling the whole java (blackdown-jdk works fine for me). Is it possible somebody send me the plugin file, compiled for generic i686 or maybe a link to fetch it ?
