For some weird legal reasons jdk1.1.8 could be distributed as binary. 1.2.2 is distributed as source code and you need a working jdk1.2 in order to build it. So first you have to install Linux jdk1.2 (which is distributed in binary form) > 2) Should I install Linux binary support? Is it fast (as fast as > Linux, and as fast as native FreeBSD)? Is it stable? Yes, you should definitely install Linux binary compatilibity. It is quite stable and in many cases faster than Linux itself. I regularly run Linux Netscape Communicator and Star Office using Linux compatilibity. Besides you won't need it to actually use jdk once you are finished with the build process.
