your makefile syntax looks like it's causing problems.

you need them if you want to run a JRE/JVM/JDK on your FreeBSD machine, yes.

above was a listing for /usr/ports/distfiles

David Piniella

you have the file there, but it's not gzipped -- it's called bsd-jdk14-patches-7.tar instead of bsd-jdk14-patches-7.tar.gz, which is what it's supposed to be. if you downloaded with windows, it may have just stripped the .gz from the file name. run "file bsd-jdk14-patches-7.tar" in that dir to find out what kind of file it is. if it is a gzipped tar, then just rename it. if it's just a tar (ungzipped,) then either re-download it or gzip it.

i ran gzip on it then i untarred it the tar file is still there isn't that how tar werks?

what do i do then? i don't understand the BUILD file. do i create all those environment
variables?

i hate patches {:(

David Piniella

I think you'd be better off re-downloading the .tar.gz file directly. You shouldn't need to create the env variables, since the Makefile (and whatever scripts the Java install runs) should do it for you (if needed).

kayvey

ASKER

i have been doing everything directly the file is there

okay maybe the ownership is messed up who should own the files

David Piniella

yes, but the file is there as a tar file instead of tar.gz, so the scripts look for it and don't find it

David Piniella

couldn't hurt to have all the files/tars owned by the same user and with similar rights.

also, are you running the install as root? your prompt makes me think youre running as a regular user.

post another output of ls -la in the distfiles subdir

i don't think that will werk because there is no such thing as the /usr/ports/distfiles directory.. the directory
itself is a symlink if i am not mistaken

did you notice what happened when i cd'ed?

notice the command pair:

followed by

2) "pwd"

the output is /mnt-for-6.x/usr/ports/disftiles

i ferget why that is but rudy put a symlink or a hardlink somewhere

oh.. maybe the symlink is _from_ the 6.0 partition _into_ the 5.4 partition?
