What did you find confusing about Java? The binary install is only four instructions. After that you are pretty much at the same place that you were when you downloaded the binary from Oracle. The OpenJDK instructions are long because the upstream designed distribution and build process are involved, but just following those instructions should get it built. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
