Thats still a question :)
Ok, lets find out:
having latest 2.1-4 packages, go into the eclipse-2.1 folder and
type
# fakeroot debian/rules clean
# fakeroot debian/rules uncompress
-> check what's in /source-tree
# fakeroot debian/rules build
-> check what's in /source-tree. There should now be the icon.xpm
Hm, I'm not totally sure, what's happening here, but this seems like
a bug somewhere... If icon.xpm isn't there, please do a
cd source-tree; cp plugins/platform-launcher/bin/linux/gtk/icon.xpm ./
(This should have been done by ant...)
Now do a
cd .. ; fakeroot debian/rules binary
If thats the only problem, it should build the packages now.
Anyway, it seems that you didn't have the problem reported in
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=187542
BTW, it could happen, that you can't startup. This will happen when
eclipse thinks that your arch is ppc and not x86. If that's
happening, please try
|eclipse -arch x86
and report back, if that helps. I will change the bootstrap script
then...
The arch is used to set the path to the swt.jars and so they won't
be found if arch is not x86. eclipse -debug should also work, as
this starts up java directly without letting the launcher setup
the library path, but with setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
