Install problem on Debian Linux [message #4819]

Yes I know that Debian is probably not a supported environment, but
I have a rather basic problem which I thought someone might know the
answer to.

Having unziped cdt into the plugin directory, I then changed to
com.ibm.dstore.core and typed "make dev". Nothing happened, it
just hing. So I got inquisitive and tried "make -d dev" and it
got as far as reading the makefile, but no further. I am running
GNU Make 3.79.1 if that makes a difference, and have rebuild
X Free, KDE and the kernel on this box, so it should be set up
right.

Hmm..haven't seen this before..
Can you append a script of 'make -d dev' here (or to eclipsc@ca.ibm.com if
it
is very large) and maybe also 'make -p dev'. I am using GNU make 3.79.1
and have built successfully on RH 7.1 and win2000 (under cygwin).

Fixed it, my fault. I was using the wrong Java (1.1.8) rather than
1.3 as it was the default in my path. When I overrode the path it
worked happily.

Since our build has a Java version dependency, it would make sense
for us to check the Java version and tell you if it is wrong.
We'll add this to our suggestions list.
