Java JDK(JRE)-1.3.1 from Compaq on FC2 Alpha

[Andrija Pantovic]

Hello,

Here is a workarround for Java 1.3.1 from HP/Compaq/DEC that helps it working 
(you need to have latest glibc otherwise java crashes with segfault):

- compile the attached file:  # gcc -O2 -shared -o libcwait.so -fpic -c 
libcwait.c
- copy libcwait.so to a proper place (/usr/local/lib for instance)
- put the following in the beginning of your /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/bin/java 
(or /usr/java/jre1.3.1/bin/java) or elsewhere depending on your needs:

LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/lib/libcwait.so
export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL LD_PRELOAD


So now we have Java available on FC2 for Alpha ! Java 1.3.1 from HP is already 
quite old and quite slow but is the best (and only) currently available on 
Linux/Alpha at the moment (I'd like so very much if somebody tells me I am 
wrong and if there is some work going on with newer Java releases for 
Linux/Alpha)

Regards
