-=== PPC java === +==== RXTX ====
-since we are using this mac laptop as the dedicated [[reprap]] machine, this page will contain some rants about dealing with the ppc peculiarity. first up, java. the [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java|ubuntu java]] page suggests using the IBM jdk. Hint: the package you want to install (after adding the medibuntu repository and key) is ''ibm-j2sdk1.5''. +
- +
-you also need the following packages (further details may ba found at http://packages.ubuntu.com/) +
-  * libstdc++5 (which is missing from the IBM jdk requirements) +
-  * ant-optional (for javah task) +
-  * libx11-dev (and all its dependencies) +
-  * mesa-common-dev (for glext.h) +
- +
-the java3d source +
-  * register at https://java3d.dev.java.net/ and follow the instructions for checkingout vecmath, j3d-core and j3d-core-utils. +
-  * run ant in vecmath, then j3d-core directories +
-  +
-note that the java3d source packages are called ''j3d-*'', don't confuse this with the j3d.org site and it's utility libraries. one of which you also need. +

-===== RXTX =====+
  
 used the "Mac OSX/Source package" for RXTX version 2.1. there were numerous compile/configure errors involving a non-existent kernel define ''UTS_RELEASE''. as a quick workaround I commented out these sections of code (which were just checking that the running kernel matched the compiled source). used the "Mac OSX/Source package" for RXTX version 2.1. there were numerous compile/configure errors involving a non-existent kernel define ''UTS_RELEASE''. as a quick workaround I commented out these sections of code (which were just checking that the running kernel matched the compiled source).
