Thanks for the reply,
I'm following these steps from this site
http://haulynjason.net/weblog/2012/10/install-opnejdk7-on-freebsd/#comment-6055
I can’t see Edit folder in my openJdk7 folder when I unzip it from this
URL.
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release//java/openjdk-7.9.05_1.tbz
Could you please help me where to find this make.conf file?
When I use this command pkg_add -r openjdk7
I get this error
Error: Unable to get
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.0-release/Latest/openjdk7.tbz:
File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch '
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.0-release/Latest/openjdk7.tbz'
by URL
And then, when I try to mention the site name
PACKAGESITE=
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-9-stable/ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-9.1-release//java/openjdk-7.9.05_1.tbz
I again get invalid command error.
Could you please help me in installing java in FreeBSD?
