Building Eclipse on OpenBSD

Building Eclipse

The eclipse port in packages was to old to support the Android SDK.

Download the initial work from http://www.intricatesoftware.com/OpenBSD/ports/current/ as referenced from OpenBSD Ports Mailing list.

  1. move devel/eclipse to devel/eclipse3.2
  2. Changes to Makefile (diff to follow)
  3. Need to add: ACCEPT_JRL_LICENSE=Yes to /etc/mk.conf
  4. collect all the other packages required (see below)
  5. You need to accept the licence for the BSD JDK patch set from here
  6. pkg_add gtar before running make
  7. sha256 was wrong for xalan in jdk/1.5/distinfo
  8. changed memory limit from 
    ulimit -d 1520412
    to 
    ulimit -d 22072576
    to allow jdk 1.6 java vm to build
  9. xulrunner 1.9 did not have gtkembedmoz library so had to use xulrunner 1.8
  10. xulrunner 1.9 had to be used as 1.8 was being deprecated in OpenBSD
