Building openjre, openjdk (Dimitris Tzemos ) you will need to have the following Apache Ant related packages installed before starting the compilation of OpenJDK, OpenJRE. * apache-ant * rhino * xalan * xerces Please note that after installing apache-ant you will have to logout and login again to initialize the ANT_HOME environment variable. Only the "rhino" package has to remain on your system in order to run OpenJDK. The other three (apache-ant, xalan and xerces) are only needed during the compilation and can optionally be removed afterwards (but why should you). # NOTE: # The openjre does not build a mozilla plugin: install icedtea-web instead. It is here http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/icedtea-web/ 1) The apache-ant and rhino are noarch packages i have compiled and i have them here ready to install http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/apache-ant/ http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/rhino/ 2) The other two packages, xalan and xerces (32 and 64 bit) are here. http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/xalan/ http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/xerces/ 3) Next download from here all files (SLKBUILDS and rest files) for openjre, openjdk and build them with fakeroot slkbuild -x or -X http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/openjre/ http://people.salixos.org/djemos/salix/openjdk/ It will take about one hour for each and need 7GB of free space. In virtual box maybe will take more time. Dimitris
