concerning jdk-1_5_0_05

YBA^[x] · 09-19-2005, 08:44 AM

Hey.

Having been away from slackware/linux for a while I got a question concerning jdk-1_5_0_05. For educational reasons I need to use the jdk-1_5_0_05 rather than jdk-1_5_0_04 which is included in 10.2. Preferring installing from packages I wonder how this is possible as i've not been able to find a .tgz with the latest release. Any suggestions on how I get the .bin from sun converted to a .tgz would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Regards.

A way to do it would be to download the rpm version and run rpm2tgz

That's a bad package to convert from RPM. Your environment variables won't be setup that way and it won't work without manual tweaking.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

CWD=`pwd`
TMP=/tmp
PKG=$TMP/package-jdk
VERSION=1_5_0_05
DVER=1.5.0_05
ARCH=i586
BUILD=1

if [ -r $CWD/jdk-${VERSION}-linux-${ARCH}.bin ]; then
   true
else
   echo
   echo "I can't locate the Java .bin file... Make sure it resides"
   echo "in the same directory as this script and try again."
   echo
   exit
fi

if [ -s /var/log/packages/jre-1* ]; then
   echo
   echo "It seems that you have the Java Runtime Environment installed already."
   echo "Make sure you un-install it before installing this package..."
   echo
   sleep 7
fi

rm -rf $PKG
mkdir -p $PKG/usr/lib
mkdir -p $PKG/etc/profile.d
mkdir -p $PKG/install

cd $PKG/usr/lib
sh $CWD/jdk-${VERSION}-linux-${ARCH}.bin

thats pretty sweet, I think i will give it a try just for kicks.

EDIT----------------------------

It works great i hope this helps you YBA

jong357 · 09-19-2005, 02:42 PM

Yea, it's just a modified .SlackBuild script. It does some hand-holding at the very top, creates the misc files for you (slack-desc, doinst.sh and jdk.sh) and sets up your browser java plugin instead of having that as a seperate package like Pat does (the plugin won't be indexed by pkgtool, tho it would be easy to do from a doinst.sh). It also doesn't make a .csh file in profile.d but who uses tcsh/csh anyway?

If you have problems, do it yourself....

I don't like the whole license argement thing interupting the build process but I don't think there is a way around that...

YBA^[x] · 09-21-2005, 12:21 PM

Very nice. I appreciate it a lot, I'll give it a go as soon as I get 2.6.13.2 working properly. Will post here asap.

Well, you just have to download the self-extracting package from sun.java.com, extract it, put the extraced folder in /usr/lib, and then change /usr/lib/java to point to the new folder. That's all.

jong357 · 09-21-2005, 02:55 PM

Well, I think the whole idea was for it to be cataloged by pkgtool. But yea, you could do that and then add the jdk.sh environment variables by hand to your /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/.

Without $JAVA_HOME $MANPATH and $PATH appended to, programs that rely on Java aren't going to work. The .bin doesn't do that for you.

You don't remove the old Java package, and therefore /etc/profile.d/jre.sh still fixes all your variables! They all point to /usr/lib/java

jong357 · 10-03-2005, 02:31 PM

You leave 2 Java's on your system huh?

I suppose that works... I like to keep things tidy and slim tho.

ivoencarnacao · 10-08-2005, 10:04 AM

This looks interresting but how would i use this slackbuild script to install java on my slack?
Kinda lame here, pretty new to slack...

Thanks in advance,
Ivo Encarnacao.

Where's jre 1.5.0.05? The latest one on sun java site is 1.5.0.04.

Edit: I see. It's the jdk.

jong357 · 10-08-2005, 12:32 PM

I just noticed something with that script. I don't ussually make all the extra files from within the build script. I thought it would be nice to do it here on LQ, just because it cuts down on the steps needed. The problem is with jdk.sh. If you use the script, it turns out like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
export MANPATH="/usr/local/man:/usr/man:/usr/X11R6/man:/usr/lib/java/man:/opt/kde/man:/usr/lib/qt/doc/man:/usr/lib/java/man"
export PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/opt/www/htdig/bin:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin"

When it should look like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/java
export MANPATH="$MANPATH:/usr/lib/java/man"
export PATH="$PATH:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin"

They both do the same thing so it will still work, but man that looks like hell. Maybe I'll fix it, maybe I won't. Atleast it has been mentioned...

To use that script ivoencarnacao, copy/paste all of it into a text editor and save it as "jdk.SlackBuild". Then throw the JDK .bin file in the same directory as the script. The .bin file should be called "jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin". Then open up a terminal and:

Code:

cd /path/to/jdk.SlackBuild
sh jdk.SlackBuild

When it's done, you'll have a Slackware package sitting it /tmp that you can install by:

Code:

installpkg /tmp/name-of-slackware-package.tgz

Thats it. You can 'removepkg' and 'upgradepkg' as well after you install it.

Code:

man installpkg

Code:

man removepkg

Code:

man upgradepkg

for more info

ivoencarnacao · 10-08-2005, 03:23 PM

I really have to learn how to do those scripts...

Thanks for the help,
Ivo Encarnacao.

fixed the variable problem with jdk.sh.....
