So, whatever machines you have, at least one of them will have to have a compatible working JDK on it. You could, for example, install Solaris on the Sparc64 machine and run a JDK there, but you have to have _something_ with a running JDK. Also, since the bootstrap JDK isn't on the same machine you're building on you'll have to use the technique described in the post I sent a link to above. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
