Hi, Thanks for your reply. As you described in http://ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/spz/openjdk/openjdk7-howto I could install mercurial successfully. But I'm confused about the second step(- install forest.py). Could you please tell how I can install "forest.py"? I am using a NetBSD 3.1 i386 machine. Please help.

Hi, Thus wrote Renju Mathew (m.renju@teles.com):
I'm a newbie in openJDK.
I want to know whether there is any NetBSD 3.0 port of openJDK?
I built binaries for NetBSD 5.0 that are available via the openjdk-bin package in pkgsrc, but not for earlier releases (although I probably should build a NetBSD-4 version, since that's still an officially supported release train). I'd expect openjdk to just build on NetBSD-3, see http://ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/spz/openjdk/openjdk7-howto for a recipy. Once you scrub your environment(*) it's fairly straightforward, it just takes a while to build. The patch I needed for the openjdk version I put onto ftp.NetBSD.org has since been integrated, so that one isn't necessary any more; but as lots of new code has been added, too, there's chance of entirely new fun to be had. :-P regards, spz (*) variables like eg $BIN get used as conditional, and the script that sets them as a "yes" indicator doesn't unset them as a "no" indicator, so if you already had them set because you use them differently, you get surprising results. If I had lots more time I'd want to hunt them all down. -- spz@serpens.de (S.P.Zeidler)
