You will need the Java 2 source from SUN the Patch6 code from somewhere else, and the Make process will tell you where to find the files and where to put the tarballs. Make will then look for linux-jdk1.3.1, since the code is written in java, and you won't have a binary javac in the tarball you downloaded from SUN. Once you have the native java installation, you can change the Makefile and ALT_BOOTDIR environment parameter to point to /usr/local/jdk1.3.1, and not /usr/local/linux-jck1.3.1.
