How to run eclipse on FreeBSD [message #74260]

Has anyone been able to run eclipse on FreeBSD? I downloaded the linux
version and tried to run it with the command :

eclipse -vm pathtomyjjvm

It comes up with an error trying to load libgtk-x11-2.0

I have motif and kde installed but not gtk. I thought is was supposed
to run with motif?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx

I don't think that you can mix linux and freeBSD binaries. As SWT is
implemented with c cdode, I think you will have to recompile the swt
(and other: libcore, update) libs to get this working.

Have a look at the debian packages, which build from source.

Try getting the motif version. (they are different files on the download
page)

Just to let you know: The motif version has also Dependencies on GTK:
jan@snoopy:~$ apt-cache show libswt-motif-java
Package: libswt-motif-java
[...]
Version: 2.1.1-1.1
Depends: bonobo-activation (>= 1:2.2.1.1), kdelibs4 (>= 4:3.1.2),
libbonobo-activation4 (>= 1:2.2.1.1), libc6 (>= 2.3.1-1), libglib2.0-0
(>= 2.2.1), libgnomevfs2-0 (>= 2.2.3), liblinc1 (>= 1:1.0.0),
libmotif, liborbit2 (>= 1:2.6.0), libqt3-mt (>= 3:3.1.2), xlibs (>>
4.1.0), java-common
Description: Fast and rich GUI toolkit for Java, motif version

jan@snoopy:~$ ls /usr/lib/eclipse/
eclipse libswt-gnome-motif-2135.so
libswt-motif-2135.so libcore_2_1_0a.so
libswt-gtk-2135.so libswt-pi-gtk-2135.so
libswt-gnome-gtk-2135.so libswt-kde-motif-2135.so
libupdate.so

Until now I haven't figured out, why there are also the gnome and kde
libs... libcore is for providing filaccess support (notice when a file
is changed), libupdate goes to the update plugins... Eclipse 2.1.1...

AFAIK the gnome and kde libs are for interaction with the respective
window managers (they were in 2.0 at least) If you don't happen to have
either the kde or gnome installed that should be ok. We created a
special RPM for them without dependency information as they weren't
required (i.e the motif version should run even if you don't have kde or
gnome installed and if you are using kde or gnome it uses some of the
window manager hints). That may have changed of course. Fuzzy on the the
details been awhile since I looked at it.

It would be a bug if the motif version had a hard dependency on GTK.

What are they actually doing with the window manager?

What will happen if I remove this libs and start it using KDE?

Thanks for this information! That will be a bit sed hacking to get
that right...

True...

I run many other xwindows apps including studio one from sun with no

I use eclipse on windows and really like it and would really like to run

You might consider trying the freebsd-java mailing list for further
inquiry. They seem to talk about Eclipse from time to time.
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/

that said, here are a couple thoughts ...

Sounds like it's looking for glibc. Possibly the motif binary that comes
with eclipse for linux/motif is linked against glibc.

Because you're running an executable for linux on FreeBSD.

I guess I don't see the correlation between a binary for one platform not
running on another platform and application portability.

If you have a motif binary for freebsd, perhaps you can try to get eclipse
to use that instead of the motif it comes with.

Perhaps you can try using gtk and the eclipse GTK version.

If that fails, you can always try to build from source. I understand
that's what linux PPC people do.

Good luck getting it going,
mike

Remove libXm* in the eclipse-directory to use motif-library supplied by
the platform.

There is a port under /usr/local/ports/java/eclipse it should work without
any problems.

WOW!! Thanx for pointing this out to me. This port is new, since I
started trying to get eclipse to run. I'm updating my ports tree now
and will build it.

Good luck!
There should be no problems with it (alot of people have compiled and
installed it), but I can't get it to run, got some problems with the Linux
Java SDK during make. But I just tried it once and didn't dig in to it.

Please let me know if it worked smooth for you!
