IMHO, this could be addressed by the future USE_JAVA variables we discussed with Ernst and Greg recently (regarding bsd.java.mk/XSLT stuff) If the USE_JAVA allows to specify a particular JDK version (regardless of port but preferably native), we could just use it to even build the JDK ports themselves. And with the ability to override it with make arguments, it may work as if it had the NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP/WITHOUT_NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP variable. Well, actually it might work with the current bsd.java.mk settings. Because when you specify USE_JAVA=1.3, it first checks if native JDK 1.3 is installed and then it checks for the linux one. The bad thing is that if none is installed, it adds java/jdk13 in the dependencies, which is a kind of cyclic dependency. And speaking of this, to use USE_JAVA for JDK build you have to also define NO_RUN_DEPENDS_JAVA to have the linux JDK only part of BUILD_DEPENDS. What do you think of this ? If I've got enough (CPU) time in the next days, I'll test it anyway. I shall check the porter's handbook to learn what happens when a port is part of its own BUILD_DEPENDS... Regards, Herve
