I'm going to test as soon as I figure out how to install it correctly for Mozilla (the included install script assumes Netscape, which didn't allow you to change the Java plugin before 4.77, and the latest FreeBSD native version was 4.76, not to mention being an aout binary). > #include "gdk/gdk.h" > > Now, there is no gdk directory anywhere in the j2sdk source, nor is > there a gdk.h file!

See /usr/ports/x11-toolkits/gtk12. You'll also need some headers and libraries from Mozilla. For the headers you can mostly use the headers which are part of the plugin source (nsplugindefs.h was the exception for me), however you need libnspr4.so from either Mozilla or NSPR itself. > Also, there seem to be a lot of purely bad programming errors, as if no > one ever tried to compile the code before.

There are some assumptions about the platform being SysV based, but nothing worse than the JDK itself I thought. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Phone : (801) 765 1887 Information Technology Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
