OpenJDK 7 is an open source implementation of version 7 of the
Java Development Kit, Standard Edition. It includes tools for
developing, testing, and running programs written in Java.
This build requires both apache-ant and gcc5. You do NOT need to
install Oracle's jdk, as apache-ant will work just fine with the jvm
tools in gcc5.
Before installing this package please consider any other jdk's/jre's
that you have already installed as they may cause conflicts with the
PATH, JAVA_HOME and MANPATH variables.
After installing the package you will need to logout/login to your
machine as it will add new files to the /etc/profile.d folder.
This script may take a couple of hours to complete and will require
about 9 GB of disk space for its temporary directory. It defaults to
"/tmp/SBo" and you may redefine it like this:
TMP=/your/temporary/dir ./openjdk7.SlackBuild
The 'cacerts' binary is a keystore containing CA certificates which
are used by Java applications. It is taken from the CentOS package
'ca-certificates-2015.2.4-65.0.1.el6_6.noarch.rpm'.
NOTE: 32-bit builds are broken ATM but we are still working on it.
If you would like to help, the problem is when linking the launcher
the build system insists on trying to link with /usr/lib/libstd++.so.6
(which belongs to gcc11), instead of the one in
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-slackware-linux/5.5.0, erroring out with message
"undefined reference to `__divmoddi4@GCC_7.0.0".
