Subject: trying to build Sun Java 1.6 for MIPS ... problems
Message-ID: <4A02FE76.7030909@mips.com>
I am trying to build the Java 1.6 "jre" for MIPS/Linux, but have
problems even with generation of the IcedTea.
First of all, is it needed to generate the IcedTea? Or there are other
ways to generate Java "jre" for MIPS?
I have installed a Debian system version 5.0.1 and run it under QEMU/mipsel.
Tried to follow the IcedTea building instructions from
http://iced-tea.org/wiki/DebianBuildingInstructions
but there is an endless sequence of various missing packages and features.
Currently my "./configure --with-ecj" for the IcedTea complains about
missing
No package 'mozilla-js' found
No package 'mozilla-plugin' found
No package 'libxul-unstable' found
But let's assume I will solve this problem as well.
The general question: Am I following the right path at all?
Maybe there is a ready-to-be-used Java 1.6 for MIPS available already
and I am just wasting time trying to build it?
Any hints and/or information will be highly appreciated.

Oh, thanks a lot!
Hopefully there exists also a package for a little-endian version ...

Hi,
There's no mips version of hotspot available as open-source.
A proprietary version of 1.4.2 exists as far as I know for embedded use.
