Build that'll work w/java 1.4.1 plugin for RH 8?

Post by geekboy2000 »

Has anyone successfully built Phoenix with gcc-2.95 so that the Java 1.4.1 plugin will work w/Redhat 8.0? I don't see any news on JoshK's page (http://pryan.org/phoenix/joshk/), but was wondering if such a build exists. Thanks.

doesn't redhat 8.0 use gcc-3.2 or something like that?

if you want the java thing to work on a gcc-3.x series, you can build java by downloading the sources from sun... that's what I did.

Thanks. Yeah, it didn't occur to me that going at it from that angle would achieve the same result. Good idea!

yeah. because I would think that building phoenix with gcc-2.96 on a gcc-3.2 system might bring up other problems such as dependencies on libraries... which on redhat 8.0 are built with gcc-3.2

unless you do it all static.
