>Description:

The java/openjdk6 port will not build "out of the box".  If you try to build
it, you will get this error:

gmake[6]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/ports/java/openjdk6/work/hotspot/src/cpu/amd64/vm/x86_64.ad', needed
by `../generated/adfiles/bsd_x86_64.ad'.  Stop. 

Apparently, this has been a known problem for for at least a full year now:

http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2012-May/009704.html

The solution is apparently to hack the line:

MAKE_JOBS_NUMBER=1

into your /etc/make.conf file before building java/openjdk6.

This problem should be solved within the port itself, or at the very least,
this issue/problem should be mentioned _somewhere_ within the UPDATING file.

>How-To-Repeat:

portinstall java/openjdk6

>Fix:

I have not developed a fix, but I will, if the port maintainer is either
unable or unwilling to do so.  Just ask.
