Blackdown Installation Details

[ludo]

After I've tried jeode, and personal profile, it was time to go for the real java: the blackdown jre.

If you want to install blackdown j2re1.3.1 on your C3000, you can follow what is described on Meanie's web site:
www.users.on.net/_hluc/myZaurus/custom.html#java
What follwos comes from this site, but I have some question and that may be usefull for others. Beside any beginer will learn quite a lot by doing the installation (you work with symlinks, on the consol, ...)

- I have personally downloaded:
blackdown-jdk_1.3.1_arm.ipk

- It couldn't let me install it on a CF card, so it was installed by defult in:
/usr/local/j2re1.3.1

Until here no problem.

- Now you should make symbolic link as:

# ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.3.1/bin/java /usr/bin/java
# ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.3.1/bin/armv4l /usr/local/j2re1.3.1/bin/armv5tel
# ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.3.1/lib/armv4l /usr/local/j2re1.3.1/lib/armv5tel

Here I have a little doubt because on Meanie's site, this links should apply if you install the bz2 version, not the .ipk. Anyway, I think the above applies to blackdown-jdk_1.3.1_arm.ipk.

- Still following Meanie's instructions (the one refering to the ipk installation), I've edited the java file, but mine is located in /usr/local/j2re1.3.1/bin I couldn't find the lines to edit, so do I have anything to do in my java file?

- You need also libstdc++, no problem for this.

- I wasn't sure if I had the differnent libraries libXm.so and libXp.so, so I installed additional-ipaq-stuff.tar.gz

- Where should the various libraries be located?
I have now

in /usr/local/lib the library required:
libBrokenLocale-2.2.2.so but not linked to libBrokenLocale.so.1,
libXm.so.2.1 not linked to libXm.so.2, also libXm.so
libXp.so.6.2 not linked to libXp.so.6 , libXp.so

but also (after installing additional-ipaq-stuff.tar.gz) in
/usr/lib/lib
libBrokenLocale-2.2.2.so linked to libBrokenLocale.so.1
and in
/usr/lib/usr/X11R6/lib/
libXm.so.2 linked to libXm.so.2.1 (should it be the other way round as Meanie mentions), also libXm.so linked to libXm.so.2.1
libXp.so.6 linked to libXp.so.6.2 , libXp.so linked to libXp.so.6.2

What should the symlinks be (which one to link to which one for sure)?

Should I put everything in /usr/lib?

In my /etc/ld.so.conf file, which path should I indicate?

My original ld.so.conf  contained:
/lib
/usr/lib
/home/QtPalmtop/lib

I have tried the following:
/lib
/usr/local/lib
/home/QtPalmtop/lib

Should I put there all the path to my lib path?

I then ran ldconfig, but I couldn't run my application.

I am honestly in the fog now.

Is there any thing I should do on the PATH variable? (and where to find it)

I ran my apps using
java -classpath myApps.jar MyApps

And I got a lot of error messages but the most relevent is probably:

Code: [Select]

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: /hdd2/usr/local/j2re1.3.1/lib/armv4l/libawt.so: libXt.so.6: cannot load shared object file: No such file or directory.

I've the feeling I'm almost OK, but I need a hand to help.

well, no time to check, but i you are stuck, you can look at the symlinks in my java.cramfs or just use java.cramfs which is much simpler to install and use. it also includes other things like javac, javap, jar, etc...
look in the xqt jumbo section for details since you need to install xqt anyway if you want to use awt or swing, might as well install the xqt-jumbo cramfs as well
you'd be surprised how simple it is to get xqt and java installed and working using the cramfs images not to mention the space it saves you as well since the cramfs images are compressed

FWIW, I usually get 10-20% extra savings using squashfs vs cramfs.  You might consider putting those up as an alternative, since just about every kernel (except default Sharp) supports squashfs now.

[ludo]

Ok Meanie, I've now your java.cramfs , but how can I look at the symlinks inside? Do I necessarily need to install it and mount it?

By the way, I thought that cramfs file sizes couldn't exceed 16MB, but you have some that are much bigger.

DrWowe, would you have any place to recommand to get started with squashfs?
