Smile Install JDK on Mepis

(Date: 6-2-2006)
I found the solution to installing a Java development environment(JDK) on Mepis. It was right under my nose.

Try: apt-cache search sun
Then: Pick what you want, say j2sdk1.4
Install: apt-get install j2sdk1.4

Piece of cake!

really that isnt an optimal solution, 1.5 is not avaliable. Yes there were a lot of changes from 1.4->1.5

what you should be doing is this:

This is also on Mepislovers (though not in the wiki)

This is a deb created by the package "java-package" which is available in the repos. This is the way you should do it as it displays the licence agreement you need to accept.

You need any java.bin from java.com and run

Code:
make-jpkg FilenameofJava.bin
This will create a .deb you can install in kpackage, dpkg etc.

This way you can keep upto date without having to wait for anyone else to make packages. Try it!! It's fun :-)
see here:

EDIT: Actually it is also available in the debian sid repos too.

Question sounds good, but does NOT work
Referring to http://www.mepislovers-wiki.org/inde...new_JDK_or_JRE
... Here's what I get ...

tuxhats@1[tmp]$ fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin
Creating temporary directory: /tmp/make-jpkg.XXXX1cqC0b
Loading plugins:/usr/bin/make-jpkg: line 180: cd: /usr/share/java-package: No such file or directory

Aborted (/usr/share/java-package).

Removing temporary directory: done
tuxhats@1[tmp]$
......................................

I have java-package installed, quote:
..... "java-package is already the newest version."

And locating "java-package" I get:

tuxhats@1[tmp]$ locate java-package
/usr/share/doc/java-package
/usr/share/doc/java-package/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/java-package/copyright
/usr/share/doc/java-package/README.Debian
/usr/share/doc/java-package/SUPPORTED
/var/lib/dpkg/info/java-package.list
/var/lib/dpkg/info/java-package.md5sums
tuxhats@1[tmp]$

It appears that Mepis lovers have not recently tried this (link) with success. Perhaps a totally new install, such as mine(3.4-3), would give you different results that are not obtainable now as is.

I'm still looking for a working solution. Thanks A BUNCH!

tuxhats,
Why the same post 4 times? (1 deleted)

Anyhow, did you read my post? Did it help/work?
Hope so.

anticapitalista,

Thanks for the input. I have the latest version of java-package installed.
"..... java-package is already the newest version."

Did you read my input? Here it is again:

tuxhats@1[tmp]$ fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin
Creating temporary directory: /tmp/make-jpkg.XXXX1cqC0b
Loading plugins:/usr/bin/make-jpkg: line 180: cd: /usr/share/java-package: No such file or directory

Aborted (/usr/share/java-package).

Removing temporary directory: done
tuxhats@1[tmp]$

Yet I have java-package installed and it is the latest version....



.... I have not yet tried the 2nd link you offered and am doing so now.

Talking Success!
anticapitalista,

Yes the .deb file link worked when I did:

dpkg -i sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb
update-alternatives --config java
(chose the new one)

Tested it with: java -version

Excellent! Thanks for the link, http://www.mepislovers.org/modules/n...topic_id=14965
or better yet
http://linox.be/index.php/downloads/

THANKS AGAIN!

Glad it worked, seems a lot easier than what's in the Mepislovers wiki. Maybe I'll add to it.
