As a psychologist you are well placed to give us pointers on how to deal with a personality that hides their incompetence behind insults.

I can only help when people are enough motivated to consult. They have to pay to show some of their motivation. And even then a minimum of cooperation is preferable. 8)

Hey @papa
I can give you my build script for oracle-JDK here
It should work with i586, but not testet
I can can not give you the ready module because it is not allowed because license restrictions.

1.) download the JDK (.*-linux-i586.tar.gz) from here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/ ... 33151.html
2.) put my script and the .*-linux-i586.tar.gz in the same directory
3.) run my script.

but better you use opensource if possible.


The error you describe sounds familiar, but nevertheless be sure that the download are not corrupt, and you have enought ramdisk to convert the archive.
If this OK, restart your i486 Porteus with the following extra kernelparameter: vmalloc=512M
or try less like: vmalloc=256M

I tried explain, but...
I have this same script with GUI here: Tip: Build your own Java Oracle module

This is the return of padre dougal. Welcome back. However, this is not the slax forum. This is the porteus forum. Adjust your glasses when you type on the keyboard.

This post is interesting for me because the mind mapping software I use requires Java.

Papa, I am also new, and I got nice help from Porteus people, and solved the issue, nothing wrong with Porteus, it is a matter of try to understand how it works, and also Linux. And in the worst case, if something goes wrong, there is nothing to complain about, just report the problem, we are getting a nice OS, free of charge, and also free support, so please take some rest, eat some raw fat like avocado, reduce your sugar, salt and coffee, and take it easy men. My 2 cents.

Hi, I love java programming and I found this two easy step to install java and Eclipse Java IDE(Kepler) to work with :
1. download openjava for slackware package from https://slackware.pkgs.org/14.2/slackon ... y.txz.html
2. open a root shell terminal where you download above file and apply this command to convert slackware package to module : tzm2xzm openjdk7-7u251-x86_64-1_slonly.txz
3. then if conversion is successfull, you can see java package named openjdk7-7u251-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm (under parent folder probably, i.e. go one folder up)
4. if you want to make it active at each startup then copy this module into /porteus/modules/ folder
5. goto /porteus/module/ folder and open root shell terminal and use this command : activate openjdk7-7u251-x86_64-1_slonly.xzm
6. if it is successfully activated, message screen will apperead as package is activated sucessfully.
7. to check whether java is working or not, open a guest shell sakura and write java to command prompt, if you see java's information there, it means it is working. otherwise, track bugs scattered (i.e. errors )
7. Next step is to get Eclipse Java Kepler packages from page : https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packa ... ase/kepler
8. trick is to download only relevant packages according to your computer's chipset architecture, 32/64 bit or amd64 , of course under linux pages get the relavant package any package you want (ı am usin eclipse-standart-kepler-SR1-linux-gtk-86_64.tar.gz package and equivalent SR2 packages)
9. after downloading eclipse-???-kepler-???-.tar.gz file, extract its under the /home/guest/keplerIDE folder(create it) . but do not forget that it is tar.gz, therefore, once you unzip it you get a tar file, therefore, first unzip then untar the file to get simple eclipse folder
10. give execution permission to folder named eclipse using recursive command(rigth click folder and change permissions simply under root spacefm or use chmod -R 777 /eclipse
11. open a guest shell under /home/guest/keplerIDE folder and write this command to start working with Eclipse Kepler Java IDE ./eclipse/eclipse (equivalently /home/guest/keplerIDE/eclipse/eclipse will work)

I have not faced with any dependency problems yet. If you faced with, please update required libraries but I could use both java and eclipse without any special packages, just simple porteus 5.0 desktop version standart packages is enough. That is all. Happy java programming.

Not programming java, so just downloaded latest from oracle, untar into directory and run from there.

That kinda defeats the Porteus modular concept. This is what I use: Tip: Build your own Java Oracle module

Just wish to get job done painlessly.

@otan:
I imagine that there is not so much more to do to get it as a module with export PATH=$PATH:/place/with/the/file
https://opensource.com/article/17/6/set-path-linux
And then right click on the directory to convert it with dir2xzm into a module.
