[freenet-dev] Freenet on Mips

[Sven-Ola Tuecke]

Matthew,

yes and no. A matter of software versions. Here are details:

ecj from debian-stable (etch):
  compiler accepts "-version 1.5" but bails out. That older version
  comes as a virtual packet, so ejc->ejc-bootstrap-3.2.1-3

ejc from debian testing (lenny) / ubuntu-gutsy:
  compiles fine (ecj-3.3.0) but 2 cases from the test suite fail
  if executed with gij-4.2.1. Same tests pass if executed with
  sun-jre-5. Does not look too serious:

  - gij returns that "127.0.0.0.1" is a valid IPv4 addr
  - gij states isProbablePrime(1) as true wile sun-java returns false

Currently unsure, if gij-4.1.1 executes fine. Which may not be the case. If 
that happens, I need to cross/recompile gij from scratch to have the newer 
gij-4.1.2 on my box. And yes - I constantly switch the JRE using 
update-alternatives-java currently. BTW - I'm not a java expert, but I'm 
used to computers since the 1980's <ggg>

While I'm at it: the GUI installer freezes if executed with gij (cannot 
click the controls). But that's on a low prio queue because a) I want 
freenet running and b) I need to check the robustness against UDP packet 
loss and then eventually c) correct any GUI...

HTH

I was under the impression that Freenet worked (modulo a few bugs) on GCJ.
That means BDBJE cannot possibly require 1.5???
