ECLIPSE for AMD64?

zzaappp · Apprentice Joined: 06 Jun 2003 Posts: 176

I finished installing an AMD64 and I'm very impressed with its performance under gentoo.

I encountered Eclipse about 6 months ago and have come to appreciate it. I was hoping to find a version of it for the amd64, but I'm not sure where to come by one. I did a search in forums and found a few listings of people not having a lot of success getting it installed. But it sounds like some of them have, too. My question: How do I get it installed in Gentoo? Is there a HOWTO? Naturally I'm looking for a 64-bit version, not 32-bit. And I only do C++ development, not java.

Many thanks!

You can download the binary from their website, that works just fine.

emerging it failed on missing swt sources, but maybe that's fixed already. The 3.1M releases don't seem very stable though (like crashing when you scroll your mouse, or new projects windows opening blank) so if you need to get some work done better stick to 3.0.

i'm using 3.0
all i remember about the installation is that i thought it was going to run into trouble, but i didn't.

hopeful, but not very helpful...

Hi, I also got some experiences with Eclipse on AMD64.
The suggested solution is a little bit nasty since the hotspot compiler is completely disabled by -Xint there...
There are two other approaches to "solve" the problem:
1) run eclipse 64 on ibm-java. This one uses a different compiler....
2) create a textfile in your eclipse directory called

drizzt, many thanks for your post! Until now, I was using eclipse with -Xint and it was a suffering. Now it works perfectly with E3.1 with Sun's jdk5.0

If you're using amd64, you gotta know your way around portage. Unmasking, portage overlays and all that. Eclipse is in portage right? If its not for amd64, just edit the ebuild to include that, digest it, then emerge it.

i've rebuilt my system since then, and that project hasn't resurfaced so i haven't tried eclipse again...

but my backup tells me that i was using
blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.01
and eclipse 3.0 from their website not portage.

looks like a few people are well ahead of me.

I still cant make it run ive now downloaded eclipse 3.2 from its web page and ia get the same error, i can see the splash screen but then i get an error
this is the content of the log file generated by eclipse, i have jsdk1.5 from sun microsystems wich is teh recomended by eclipse, any ideas, i am learning java in collage and i need this working, i am out of ideas thanks.

Just a thought, and it might not fix it.. but I have SWT installed separatly, which dumps it in my /usr/lib (lib64) and that solves a LOT of these unsatisfied link errors.. it looks like your error is that it is not finding SWT itself.. but I am not so smart about these things. If you try (which it cannot hurt to at least try) make sure to env-update and source /etc/profile then try to run eclipse from the command line and see if you still get that error

I had no problem to install eclipse 3.1.r1 on my notebook. I just used ACCEPT_KEYWORDS and using sun-jdk 1.5_04

thank you a lot for your post, it helped me understand a bit more about portage, y succsesfully emerge your same eclipse version, however it didn't resolve the problem, i still get the same error. As a tempory solution i emerged netbean another java ide is not the one we use in class but its a java ide anyway.please let me know if you think of somthing in order to solve my problem thanks.

ok man thanks a lot for your post, i think i know my problem, i installed java-1.5 from sun web page to, and added this :
#Java Path
JAVA_HOME=/usr/share/java/jdk1.5.0_04
export JAVA_HOME

PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH
to my /etc/profile did env-update && source /etc/profile however whe y do java-config -L y get this :

[ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2] "IBM JDK 1.4.2" (/etc/env.d/java/20ibm-jdk-bin-1.4.2)
[blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.02] "Blackdown JDK 1.4.2.02" (/etc/env.d/java/20blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.02)

and suns java is not listed, (because i didnt emerge it right?) so i think i have to emerge sun-jdk-1.5.0.04 however y cant
emerge =sun-jdk-1.5.0.04
masked by: package.mask, ~amd64 keyword

didnt no what to try so:

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="package.mask, ~amd64" emerge =sun-jdk-1.5.0.04
- dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.04 (masked by: package.mask)

does this got anything to do with me getting this error?
by the way, ill post the same thing you did, maybe it gives you an idea of what might be the problem.

SudakaTux, I am really glad you got Eclipse working... but I suggest that you put a little effort into getting java and eclipse working through portage (emerge) so that you can have the update and dependency support that it offers. Let me walk you through getting sun java sdk on your machine.

First off, you will need two files on your machine: /etc/portage/package.keywords and /etc/portage/package.unmask

if they are not there, simply (as root) touch them

What I've done to get eclipse-sdk-3.1-r1 working is this:

# use blackdown-jdk to compile eclipse dependencies, some fail to compile with sun-jdk-1.5*
emerge dev-java/blackdown-jdk
emerge dev-util/eclipse-sdk
# use sun-jdk to run eclipse, the blackdown hotspot compiler segfaults a lot...
emerge dev-java/sun-jdk
java-config -S sun-jdk-1.5*

I haven't had any need for the hotspot fix posted above so far.

I've still some Problems:

I setup sun-jdk-1.5.0.05 and its working (compiled some dependencies with it)
It doesnt work for dev-java/log4j-1.2.9 so i setup blackdown-jdk-1.4.2.02
But blackdown also won't compile log4j
So i did try IBM-jdk. It's fetch restriced, so i got the file from the IBM Website (it's the correct file, i checked filenames and architecture twice), but emerge tells me: Filesize doesnt match
So i can't run IBM-jdk

How to compile eclipse dependencies?

partialsolved: unmerge everything that was compiled with 1.5, emerge again with 1.4, dependencies are all fine now, but not eclipse itself:

[exec] os.c:4863: warning: passing arg 1 of `gdk_x11_screen_get_window_ manager_name' makes pointer from integer without a cast

I use Eclipse 3.2 M2 on my machine with my own ebuild ripped off from Gentoo's eclipse 3.1. It's very stable here, especially with Sun JDK 1.5.0_06 in my AMD64 machine. Not a single workaround at all. Here's the ebuild:
