[Swarm-Support] building swarm-2.4.0. Objc = OK. Java, not so much

[pauljohn32]

Hi!  I'm remembering the excitement of Heatbugs.

In RedHat 6, I built RPMS for the Obj-C only version, they are uploaded to

http://pj.freefaculty.org/Swarm/Swarm-Packages/RedHat/6/x86_64

Do you want me copy those onto your Swarm server somehow/somewhere?

Now, the java thread problem happens again.

RH6 has the openjdk thing, and I'm running into a problem that I've seen
before.  Perhaps it is the reason I insisted on using the authentic Sun
JDK all that time. Anyway, here's the configure,  which ends with Swarm
saying it does not like my pthreads.

checking for JDK... configure: error: Can't find threads

Now, what do I have for threads?

$ ls /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64
bin  include  jre  lib  tapset

$ find . -name  "*thread*"
./jre/lib/amd64/native_threads

$ ls jre/lib/amd64/native_threads/
libhpi.so


I feel certain that Marcus had patched the configure script in Spring,
2010, to make it recognize "amd64" for java threads.  But I just can't
find any evidence of it :) or :(
