FW: eclipse does not compile (followup)

[David Pullara]

I sent it to portsmgr by mistake.

It never did come back from the "generateJavadoc" part.
Do you guys have an idea of what might be happening there?

I just updated my ports collection this morning using cvsup.
I am running 4.9 though I haven't rebuilt world with the
latest sources yet.

I have the linux 1.4.2 jdk installed.

When I try to build eclipse via the ports, it gaks bigtime.
The problem is that the file
   /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/include/jni.h
is including "jni_md.h".  However, that file is in
   /usr/local/linux-sun-jdk1.4.2/include/linux/

To get around this I made a hard link in the include
directory,  ln linux/jni_md.h   but I don't know if
this is the right solution.  It did get past all the
compile errors though and into a later stage in the
build - right now it seems paused at the
"generateJavadoc:" stage; hopefully it's not hung.

I also don't know if this problem would have shown up
if I had installed the patched 1.4jdk which runs
native.  Does eclipse care which variant I'm using?
I am planning on installing the native one later but
might not get to it for a few days.  I'll see if I can
test that though.

hope this helps
