I worked with someone behind the scene to get java to work on 1.6.2_RC3/powerpc. It was a pain to do it, but finnally, only two things are missing: - rebuild a kernel with COMPAT_LINUX - sysctl -w emul.linux.kern.osversion=2.4.18 What about making these default for upcoming 1.6.2? That way, pkgsrc/lang/blackdown-jdk13 will just install out of the box.
Hi, I'm someone, and I like the idea. :-)It may be hard to get these changes in, as the 1.6.2 release is already fairly late. Still, if you're confident that the resulting GENERIC kernel still boots (macppc has trouble with large kernels), I'd say try sending a pullup request.
