Re: Blackdown JDK and sid (was: Re: java 1.4 for ppc)
Hi,
Two things:
1. Mozilla is C++ and as such Mozilla and Blackdown JDK (has C+ in it also)
must both either be compiled with gcc 2.95.X or both compiled with gcc 3.X
since the C++ ABI changed.
2. The current JDK *does* work with a properly compiled glibc-2.3.1
compiled with the same compiler. For example Blackdown JDK works fine with
YDL 3.0 which uses glibc-2.3.1 and everything was compiled with gcc 3.2.X.
So the only solution I can offer:
- upgrade to the very latest gcc 3.2.X
- rebuild glibc 2.3.1 with it
- rebuild Mozilla with it
Then grab the Blackdown JDK wich was built with the same compiler
gcc 3.2.X from
http://crunch.ivey.uwo.ca/khendricks/openoffice/
Then you should have a working Blackdown JDK, a working Mozilla and you
should not be seeing any __dividi3 relocation errors if the proper glibc
compatibility patches are in place.
I realize all of this is a mess but the number of changes in compilers, c++
abis, and glibc versions (and it matters which gcc cmpiles which glibc due
to an earlier issue of some symbols sneaking in to the glibc builds from
gcc) have made it very hard to keep a working Blackdown JDK (especially
one that works with a recent Mozilla).
Hope that helps,
Kevin
