Java for puppy ?

Just tried to install Java under 1.0.5 and received this error:
ERROR: /root//jre1.5.0_04/bin/java not found

How do I fix this, please?

Thanks! doc

doc, what java?
What did you do to install it?

I think for "normal endusers" it would be best, to install the SUN jre with the dotpupdownloader or using the Wiki.

Installation works straight, and most programs work with it, even GL-based ones like Art of Illusion.
(but with 80 MB it is real huge, so efforts to get other free Java-versions running are very interesting).

if you are using my dotpup to install Java, the latest version of Sun Java on their manual download page is 1.5.0_5

i haven't updated my dotpup to the newest version

my dotpup doesn't do much ... it downloads the installer from Sun, automatically runs it, and sets up a few symlinks and environmental variables

the package was created before /etc/profile.local was sourced by rc.local, but versions of Puppy earlier than 1.0.5 don't use profile.local

to run Java programs (as opposed to running the Java browser plugin), i put something like:

export JAVA_HOME=/root/jre1.5.0_04
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

in /etc/profile ... but this will be removed if you upgrade to a newer version of Puppy ... putting it in profile.local should work better, because rc.local should not be overwritten when Puppy upgrades

i have thought of setting the variables in a wrapper script, but i'm not sure if the browser plugion requires the variables to be set or not, and besides, i would probably have to provide wrappers for the other binaries in JAVA_HOME/bin/

so i (or somebody) will have to make a dotpup that works properly with Puppy 1.0.6

it's actually not difficult to install Java ... just download and run the installer from Sun (you have the make it executable) ... make a symlink for the browser plugin ... setup JAVA_HOME in /etc/profile.local

i don't know how well the smaller alternative Javas work, i haven't tried them

I installed the SDK a week ago, and the SUN sfx-archive requires another version of tail... wait *searching* ... there it is:

the smaller versions here will run http://jpatch.sf.net for example without the editor-area (where you model 3D-elements), so it is not usable. For Texteditors it seems to work.

Will this browser plugin work in Puppy?

http://www.nongnu.org/gcjwebplugin/

gcjwebplugin is a plugin for Mozilla and other web browsers for the execution of Java

I'm having the same issue as PeterSieg:

Found 1 system error:

*** Semantic Error: You need to modify your classpath, sourcepath, bootclasspath, and/or extdirs setup. Jikes could not find package "java.lang" in:

I just downloaded the java_jikescairo-1: java PETget package, which I'm assuming is the same one as in this thread (at least the latest version). I'm running Puppy 2.13

Is anyone else having this issue? Has it been resolved? Does anyone know how I might go about resolving it?

I've always used the java package from Sun and never had this issue.

Lobster · #29 Post by **Lobster** » Fri 26 Jan 2007, 17:36

this is the full java from Sun
http://puppylinux.org/wikka/GuestTooJavaInstaller

the one you mention is cut down and not usually recomended

Darkbee · #30 Post by **Darkbee** » Sun 28 Jan 2007, 22:37

Ok thanks, I'll use this instead. I choose the other one simply because I don't have a lot a space left on my small 1GB partition.

How big in the Sun package, < 100MB?

Lobster · #31 Post by **Lobster** » Mon 29 Jan 2007, 01:43

# You need about 100 megs of free space
# The Sun Java installer is 25 MB
# The Java folder will be about 85 MB

GuestToo · #32 Post by **GuestToo** » Mon 29 Jan 2007, 03:03

the latest version of Sun Java is 1.5.0_10

you can download it here:
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp

Linux (self-extracting file)
(filesize: 16.28 MB)

put the file where you want to extract it ... make the file executable, run it in an rxvt console ... type yes when it asks if you agree to the license and it will extract itself

make a symlink to the plugin folder

to run programs, you need to put something like this in /etc/profile.local:

export JAVA_HOME=/mnt/hda15/jre
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

if your Java folder is /mnt/hda15/jre ... change it to the correct path

Should I be asking 'noob' questions here?

Where is the most logical place to put(extract) it? (since I don't have the greatest understanding of Linux file hierarchy) Did your export example imply that I would probably want to put it in /jre/ from the root directory? Does the Java extraction create a "jre" directory or do I need to make one first (assuming I want to put it in 'jre')?

Where am I Symlinking from? I don't quite understand the purpose of the symlink.

Sorry for these obvious questions, I just don't want to break anything.

if you installed java to, say, / , then you would have to symlink /jre1xx_xx to /usr/local and /jre1xx_xx/bin/java to /usr/local/bin (change xx_xx to whatever version)

if instead you installed jre1xx_xx to /usr/local , you still need to do:

Code: Select all

 ln -s /usr/local/jre1xx_xx/bin/java /usr/local/bin

you then need to add a couple of lines, as mentioned by G2, to /etc/profile. in my case:

export JAVA_HOME=/jre1.5.0_04
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin

muggins · #35 Post by **muggins** » Sat 03 Feb 2007, 03:44

i forgot to mention you should probably also symlink the java plugin to the plugin folder of your mozilla/seamonkey/firefox/swiftfox browser.

in my case i'm only using swiftfox & it's:

Code: Select all

ln -s /jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /swiftfox/plugins

This Java-based live Cam in Jamaica does not work:

http://www.seacrets.com/webcam/index.cfm?cam=8

I am running Seamonkey w/Puppy 2.13 and Java works fine on other sites and with
various Java apps.

Can anyone spot the problem on their end?

Dear all

I am brand new to Puppy 4.01 and am desperately searching for an easy way to install Java.

I found a thread that showed a "hard" way to do it....I'm afraid its all beyond me.

Is there an easy way to install the latest version of java??....using the Pet package manager?

Thanking you all in advance

Simon

Puppy Forum member Sit Heel Speak says in the thread below that he will be posting some new directions shortly:

Forum member BEEM says he has done it already but he's one of the experts for whom all of the "hoops" seem to be easy.
