installing jdk14 for james

[vakimova]

Dear all,
I'm trying to build a mail server on a freebsd box.
They say I should have JVM(jdk14) before deploying james-server.
To build the JVM, they say, I should
cd control/make
(which I have dove) and then just type
gmake
(and here I get)
gmake: not found

Clarification - jdk14 source, bin and patches have been unzipped and implemented ok. Gnu make-3.79 installed.

Can you help me please?

yours`

Have you tried ./gmake ?

vakimova,

What is the output of 'whereis gmake'? If it's blank, try:

cd /usr/ports/devel/gmake
make install clean

For that matter, to install jdk14, you could:

cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14
make install clean

which should install all dependencies.

dear Wishdiak,
I looked for it from the control/make as you told -
#whereis gmake
#/usr/ports/devel/gmake
but then again
#gmake
#gmake:not found
Could it matter that I have jdk14 Makefile in
/usr/ports/distfiles/jvm/control/make ?
After recommended
cd /usr/ports/java/jdk14
make install clean
there was
Makefile:28:***missing separator. Stop.

dear KenCunningham,
trying
./gmake
avails of nothing.

Thank you both.

vakimova,

If the output of
#whereis gmake
is only
#/usr/ports/devel/gmake
then gmake is likely not installed.

Try:
#cd /usr/ports/devel/gmake
#make install clean
to install gmake from the ports tree.

dear Wishdiak,

I did as you say and got the following --
#Makefile:19:***missing separator. Stop.

Whither now?

I asume that you have the ports tree installed
If you don't then you better install them

Now as root run this

# pkg_add -vr cvsup-without-gui

after it finish, create this file
[blue]/usr/local/etc/ports-supfile[/blue]
and put this in

*default host=cvsup9.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var/db
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix

*default compress

ports-all

now run this

cvsup -g -L 2 /usr/local/etc/ports-supfile

When it finished you will have aan up to date ports tree

now you can go to [blue]/usr/ports/java/jdk14 [/blue]
and run
# make install

Beware the package that will download is very big and if you don't have much cpu power the compilation could last for several hours.
But at the end you will have a very good working native jdk, builded for your pc.

As for gmake or imake or any *make, after you update your ports it will be installed without any problems.....almost

dear perluserpengo,
the matter is I can't pkg_add anything at all.
I guess the previous Sysadmin configured a certain filter on the gateway-server.
Neither can I change the configuration because the root passwd was gone together with the Sysadmin.
All I can is to download a file on a PC in the LAN (all of them have Windos OS) where I has put a ftp-server and then get the file into the freebsd box I am building up.

I do appreciate your good will and smart recommendation, however, the line
# pkg_add -vr cvsup-without-gui
brought about the usual message
Error: Operation timed out: unable to fetch 'ftp://......' by URL
pkg_add: 1 package addition(s) failed

So the freesbie doesn't have any access to the internet?
You will need to have access to the internet to get the whole thing done right.

dear perluserpengo,
you have grasped the situation correctly.
So my idea is to prepare a freebsd with a mail-server and swap its hard disk with the one in the present LAN gateway server which is unaccessable but runs ok and has a mail-server with a couple of users who are not guilty of anything and have the right to keep their accounts.

thank you for the info
