But once you have it bootstrapped, you don't need the Linux JDK port. Why don't you provide a native JDK as a bootstrap and depend on that? Take a look at ports/lang/gnat. You need an Ada compiler to build the Ada compiler. I provide a native bootstrap compiler so if the port builder doesn't have a previous Ada compiler installed, it will download the bootstrap compiler and use it (from the work directory, so it get's cleaned right along with everything else). -- Dan Eischen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
