Subject: [gentoo-dev] Java and Mozilla (GCC 3 issue)
Date: Thu, 19 Dec 2002 12:40:34 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <004701c2a79e$e293e5d0$550410ac@DWALTERS> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 200212191944.51853.danarmak@gentoo.org

I don't know if the Java plug-in issue for Mozilla has been addressed for
the upcoming 1.4 release, but I found a couple of interesting web pages
describing how to build the JDK from source using GCC 3, so that it will
work properly as a plug-in for Mozilla.

http://hints.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/javafromscratch.txt

http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-dev/2002/08/0659.html

Is anyone currently working on an ebuild to do this?

I see that bug  10462 (Mozilla does not work with Java plugins) is marked as
resolved and a duplicate of bug 9016 (Ebuilds that help you to make a
working mozilla with java and gentoo-1.4), but the fix described in the
latter (compiling Mozilla with GCC 2.95.3) does not seem to be a good
long-term fix for this issue.
