#48651: Repeated JRE installation dialog when updating gettext --------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: bruce@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Resolution: | Keywords: JRE, Java, dialog Port: gettext | --------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by allbery.b@…): Specifically: currently the Portfile does --disable-native-java which prevents it from building Java libraries to native code using gcj. This does not prevent use of a JVM, however; that would be --disable-java. I suggested adding that to the configure options and then providing a +java variant to remove it from the configure options for those who do want gettext available from Java. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48651#comment:1> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X

#48651: Repeated JRE installation dialog when updating gettext --------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: bruce@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gettext | --------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by davalpi@…): I want to add the description of this defect as I get a slightly different but more informative parentless dialog. I'm on current OSX (10.11.1 El Capitan ) and current XCode (xcodebuild -version -> Xcode 7.1 Build version 7B91b). I do not have any JDK installed (I do not want one) but I have installed some latest JRE (jre-8u65-macosx-x64.dmg) from Oracle. When I try to instal gettext I get a parentless GUI dialog that say something like (I'm translating from italian here) : 'To use the command line tool "javac" you have to install an JDK" . This dialog offer a "More Information..." button that open my browser to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html that's the Oracle page to download JDKs /JREs. I get the same dialog when I try to run javac from terminal: {{{ $ javac ; echo Exit Status : $? No Java runtime present, requesting install. Exit Status : 1 $ which javac /usr/bin/javac }}} Apparently the error is reported but at the same time it trigger this parentless dialog to guide user towards JDK installation procedure. Another silly thing is that on El Capitan (10.11.1) I have this : {{{ $ ll /usr/bin/java* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 74 1 Ott 14:36 /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75 1 Ott 14:36 /usr/bin/javac -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javac lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 77 1 Ott 14:36 /usr/bin/javadoc -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javadoc lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75 1 Ott 14:36 /usr/bin/javah -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javah lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75 1 Ott 14:36 /usr/bin/javap -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javap lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 76 1 Ott 14:36 /usr/bin/javaws -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/javaws }}} My educated guest is that JRE installer (jre-8u65-macosx-x64.dmg) setup all this to "stimulate" users toward JDK installation and if this is true for all ppl, this is something to keep in mind. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48651#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
