I am trying to install the Java 2 SDK on my FreeBSD system. I have reviewed the "ports" and have looked through the code. It appears that the make file uses the source code from the Sun site to install the SDK. I'm a little confused as to what order files are to be used and installed. If I go to "make" the JDK 1.3.1 port that's listed on the FreeBSD ports page, will it find the source code that I downloaded from the Sun Site? Is there a specific directory that I'm supposed to download it to for the port to find it? or do I have to build the Sun Java code first and then make the FreeBSD port... and if so.. what build do I use? As you can see... I'm a little confused. I would much appreciate any light that you could shed on the process of how this is done. Thank you in advance for your help and advice.
