problems with compiling bluej

[dasbuch]

Hi,

I'd like to compile bluej ports on PC-BSD 9.0 release to understand the theory of creating .pbi package. After so long building, and almost near the end of building process, EasyPBI shows following errors:

"java.lang.InternalError: Can't connect to X11 window server using ':0.0' as the value of the DISPLAY variable."

google and try "xhost +" and other attempts all failure. I wonder how this problem is solved by official release, please give me some advice. ANY help will be appreciated.

anyone there ?

Did you run xhost + as your user account beforehand?

sure, logs in the terminal window as follows:

It almost appear that the port is trying to open up an x window during the installation, when it really shouldn't since a PBI is a scripted installation built in a seperate chroot environment.

Just to make sure that it is not something with how EasyPBI is running the build process, could you try manually running the "pbi_makeport ....." command that EasyPBI generated for you directly from the command line?

Thanks for your advertise! I'll give it a try and report later.

PS: I wonder why PC-BSD 9.0 team has canceld PBICreater application. I think it's convinent and efficient than EasyPBI. I don't know weather it will be back in coming PC-BSD relaese or not.

The PBICreator program was replaced with the "PBI Manager" suite of command-line tools[1] when PC-BSD 9.0 was released. EasyPBI is a completely separate tool that was created by Jesse Smith and myself later on, once we were looking for a simplified way to automatically generate modules for new PBI's. It then began to gain additional features (building PBI's, editing modules) and became much more useful for non-technical users as well.

I do not think that there are any plans to rebuild PBICreator at the moment, but the latest version of EasyPBI is going to be included in PC-BSD 9.1 as a system utility.

"pbi_makeport -c /home/fpe/EasyPBI/Modules/bluej -o /home/fpe/EasyPBI/PBI"

, still showing the same problem as before although "set path=(/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /root/bin /home/fpe/bin/java)" was executed to include java. I've decided give up trying anymore. Fareawell to PC-BSD as I'm tired.
