DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: Little tip to make Java work in DSL 0.71.4.2

Get two files from gnu-utils.dsl (rename it to gnu-utils.tar.gz) :

/usr/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6

/usr/lib/X11R6/lib/libXtst.so.6.1

and put it in the adequate place when using another mydsl file

after that do sudo ldconfig

when using the firefox.dsl we must create a symlink from

/"your java dir" /plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin.oji.so

to /opt/firefox/plugins

if you are using the version downloaded from www.mozilla.org do the same but change ns610 to ns610-gcc32

see about:buildconfig to verify the version of gcc that was used to compile

tested with java 1.4.2_04 from Sun but probably it works with the other javas

(hehe, the title is wrong and I cant correct)

The Firefox that I have says it used gcc 2.96, so using the ns610-gcc322 one wouldn't work in that regard.

However, I found that if you go to a java-applet-infused website, and click on the little "Click Here to download the Plugin" link, it downloads and installs the xpi file just fine.

If I knew how to install the XPI files, I'd just download and make a script for it, but I don't. =\
