?Compiling Linux 2 Windows?

Hey, I was wondering if it was possible to compile Linux made Java stuff on a Windows computer. I can run Linux Java programs like this:
@ECHO OFF
cls
java -jar JARHEREBut is there anyway to compile it?
PS: I tried using just a basic compiler:
@echo off
javac *.java
pausebut it just gives me tons of errors...
Can this be because their are quiet a few directories with Java source (.java) files in them? Like should I put them all into one directory?

java -jar JARHERE
But is there anyway to compile it?
PS: I tried using just a basic compiler:
@echo off
javac *.javaThese are two different operations that work at different times and on different files. javac works at compile time on .java files, compiling them into .class files. 'java' runs jars or classes in .class filesBut anyway, if you've got a .java file made on a linux box it is simple to compile it in a windows machine

Fmb compiled for windows works in linux ??

Hi,
A customer is about to deploy a system made with forms11gR2, they only have the fmx files which ones where compiled in windows, now they want to place the fmx files in a linux server with forms11gR2, so the question is, could this generate an error ?? i mean the fmx were compiled for windows not for linux

Compiling for Windows and Java

Hi All
This is a deff newbie question. Basically i have a program that will compile in Windows, but if I try and compile it in Linux (CentOS) then I get 48 errors all related to graphics of constructors.
It was my understanding that Java was meant to be platform independent, or is that just a myth?
Is there any way that i can resolve this, or find a tool that will show me what wont compile under linux and why?

I have a

You may be missing some jar(s) in your classpath.

Can i have both Linux, Windows, and Leopard operating systems on my mac

Can i use Bootcamp to have a Leopard OS, a Linux OS, and a Windows OS partitioned on my single Macbook?

For Linux I much prefer having it under VMware Fusion because MacOS doesn't support ext3 and Linux doesn't support writing HFS, making it hard to share data between the two otherwise. The latest version of VMware Tools supports cut and paste between Linux and MacOS (last version of Parallels I used did not have ability to do cut and paste between Linux and MacOS and ran much slower with Linux) and Linux runs at pretty much full speed other than graphics (but I'm not running Linux for graphics, I'm running Linux for software development). Note that setting up your home directory (or a subdirectory thereof) as an NFS share, then mounting that within your Linux virtual machine, results in faster throughput than trying to do everything on the VMware virtual disk, all that lives on my VMware virtual disk is the actual operating system (I have my home directory mounted to a directory on my Mac where my source code lives). I usually use Aquamacs and p4v on the Mac side to actually edit and do source control on my source code, then pop down to the Linux window to compile it and do an initial smoke test to ensure that my fix actually fixed what I think it's supposed to fix, then pop back up to the Mac Finder to drag the result over to the open Finder window for the Engineering Test CIFS share on our corporate file server from whence the actual QA test systems in the lab can grab it and test it. It's a cool way to do Linux software development . Especially since I must develop for both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms for multiple distributions of Linux, and VMware lets me fire up a couple of them at a time (why I have 8GB of RAM? Now you know!) to do all this in a sort of overlapping manner.
For Windows... meh. I've used both the latest Parallels and the latest VMware with Windows 7, and both of them are sluggish even after you turn off all the various GUI effects under Performance and Accessibility and if you don't give at least 2GB of memory to the virtualized Windows 7 it gets really slow if you try to do anything sizable at all (such as run Microsoft Office to edit things that for some reason don't edit correctly in OpenOffice/NeoOffice). So Boot Camp it is, especially for playing games, which simply is not acceptable at all under virtualized Windows 7. Oddly enough, Windows XP runs acceptably fast under both Parallels and VMware, so I'm not sure what Windows 7 is doing that makes it work so poorly under virtualization. But that's Microsoft for ya, I guess...

Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows

I've got a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows. I've tried all of the following initial tests as suggested on forums:
-Ram swaps
-Alternating video card in PCIe slots
-Trying alternate video card
-resetting pram and smc
-Multiple tests with memtest86+ over 26hrs and no failed ram
-Multiple tests (8-12 cycles) with apple HW diagnostics and no problems
-Firmware is approved firmware for early 2008 model...no new updates.
Gentoo livecd works fine and I even installed to hard drive and it boots fine with it. In addition to above tests I also ran a linux stress test putting all 8 cores at a load of 22 for 2.5hrs with no problems.
Memtest86+ for 24hrs+ yields no problems.
Where problems occur:
Booting off hard drive, DVD or firewire yields an immediate curtain of death and booting off a new snow leopard DVD dies about 25% into the install.
Looking at error log and a quick dmesg shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" and complains about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Google turns up illegal uses of this, so doesn't apply to my use case.
I'm a bit stumped since all was working well until one day it was non-stop curtains of death and can't get them to go away.
A logic board replacement at $1100 is not a feasible option for something that works on linux and windows, but not OS/X, is a bit disappointing and somewhat surprising.
Thanks for your help and advice.

Marcos

Someone here once thought they knew EFI and Open Firmware a little, and used some commands from OF library that an Intel EFI Apple system didn't like. New logicboard.
Of course to run or boot OS X and see video you need EFI based card. The presence of some PC cards can block OS X from booting.
The fact you get part way through SL DVD, pull all the drives, put in a new drive and format it from SL DVD.
Most of the things you tried are what are more common with PC hardware. Including where people have tried and failed to install OS X on unsupported hardware.
I suppose it is possible something tried and failed to modify the Mac's firmware.
If you have Windows running, and you have WD drives, WD just posted new Lifeguard utility which is what I use to do a good job of stripping a drive down and recertify it for reuse, works wonders. Maybe same for other makes with vendor utility.

Compiling with Windows XP

I've just installed J2SE 1.4.0 and am having problems with the classpath. I've tried setting it as explained in the Help section on the java.sun site, however I still get the error message:
'javac' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operational program or batch file
How exactly should I go about setting the classpath and what is the format that it should take?

I have a same proplem when compiling with Windows XP.
I set
PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32
Wbem;C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\bin.Could you please tell me
more about this problem. Thanks a alot!Open a console window.
Type the following command
set
Verify that the PATH looks like what you think it does. If it doesn't fix it.
Then do this
cd C:\j2sdk1.4.0_01\bin
set PATH=.
javac -?
If you still get the same error then something is wrong with the install. Examine the bin directory. There should be a number of exe files in it including javac.

Am using linux(OpenSUSE)
How can I create an executable file in search a way that the use just clicks on the icon and the system launches?>There are at least two basic ways you can head.
1) Add a manifest file to the Jar that specifies the main class. The end user can 'double click' it to launch the app.
2) Deploy the Jar using webstart, which can install desktop and menu item shortcuts for a program (plus adding splash screens, automatic update..) while installing it.

Error when compile linux-selinux

I got this issue when compiling linux-selinux 3.4.5-1:

any suggestion?

Hm maybe you should delete this directory?? Seems like you have tried to build it before and the build was aborted, leaving the directory. Just clean your /tmp (easiest way: reboot) and try to build it again and check if you get the same or different error messages.

Swing UI differs between Linux & Windows. How to fix?

I'm having some difficulties with the different look between OSes.
Well the main problem is not that it looks different but
that in linux the controls are bigger so that some controls don't fit in the window anymore:
Linux
Windows
Since I have basically mo experience with crossplatform & GUI applications,
I'm blindly trying to fix this but to no avail.
How can I correct this behaviour so it looks more like it does in Windows?
Relevant code:
JButton bFile=new JButton("Add File");
JButton bDir=new JButton("Add Dir");
JButton bRenamePattern=new JButton("Rename Config");
JPanel lowerPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
c.gridx=0; c.gridy=0;
c.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
lowerPanel.add(prgbr_Progress[0],c); c.gridy++;
lowerPanel.add(prgbr_Progress[1],c); c.gridy++;
JPanel innerPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints cInner = new GridBagConstraints();
cInner.gridx=0; cInner.gridy=0;
cInner.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
cInner.weightx = 1;
innerPanel.add(lblProcessedMB, cInner); cInner.gridx++;

add(scrollPane,BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(lowerPanel,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

BoBear2681:
I can't confirm that.
The size is the same on both systems 800x600.
And if you look closely to both pictures you'll see that the font is slightly bigger on the linux system (and more spacing).
Also easlily noticable is the JTable, the entries there doesn't fit height wise (the text is capped of at the top).
Another thing is that the last row of the controls (bottom), the height is much greater.

"con" creading problem n compilation in Windows

when we comile the following program in windows it creates sound and does print some character
import java.io.*;
class con
double a,i,j;
int k;
con(double i)
this.i=i;

con c1=new con(2.59);
double a1=c1.area(2.59);
c1.display();
On the basis of discussion the reason I found was
what I think that it is due to Compiler parsing problem.. I hope java Lexical Analyzer finds no problem in written code to be parsed and directed by instances of regular expressions in the input stream but when YAAC tries to generate subroutine it fails as it cant crate valid codes for con( and cant create a con.class file).. giving BIOS beep sound
Now when I replaced con with LPT1 it further stopped even compilation and stood idle.. ho I hope its is bcause of this reason.
Further in discussion
By Raj told us
When SDK tries to write into con.class, SDK creates a stream to write into con. (CON IS CONSOLE) so, The class file gets printed into the console.!
And while printing in the console, the character corresponding to ascii value 7 makes a bep noise. Thats all !
If it helps any better, Try it in linux, There'll be no problem. con.class will be perfectly created.No bugs with SDK
But what I feel java being a platform independent language should behave same evey \where regardless of being LINUX or WINDOWS so I still feel LEX and YAAC ans a part of compiler should handle it in a better way and should raise and issue when compiled.

Dual boot Linux - Windows on Satellite U940

Hello to everyone.
I'm quite new on this forum and I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite U940-10N? Using Linux for 2 years, I'd like to install a debian wheezy distribution on it.
On my former computer, only Debian was installed so I'm net really comfortable with dual boot especially with the ssd.
I don't really like windows but I keep it to work sometimes on it.
Do you think it would be better to install the linux system on the system like I've seen it on most of threads, with only the /home on the HDD ? Or do you think it would be interesting to build another raid like it is now for windows ? Would I have better perfomances and speed that way ?
Another question : is it possible to have an ext4 data partition and make windows to see it or do I have to write it in ntfs ? I have noticed that fat32 and ntfs written on linux with gparted are not reconized by windows 8.
Those are my questions for now.
Thank you for your help.

Hi there
First let's look at your situation - the U940-10N will most likely be a Win8 unit, right?
If YES - then the BIOS has to be set up to boot UEFI.
Secure Boot can be disabled.
It seems Debian is not so far in supporting UEFI / EFI boot modes.
Look at this announcement from back in October:
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20121018
So, you will need to make sure your debian flavor can boot in UEFI boot mode.
If not, You will have issues getting both OS'es (Debian and Win8) to live side by side and boot without issues.
Next, You'll need to make sure Debian is able to install a boot loader that takes Windows 8 into account and is able to start that OS.
Looking at storage, I tried to install Fedora on a dual-storage system (SSD + HDD).
I installed the OS on the SSD and my Home structure was placed on the HDD.
This worked very very well.
I think this also provides the best performance, however I have no real statistics to back it up.
Ext4 is not supported by Windows out of the box, but there is a driver existing which implements ext2,3,4 support for Windows: http://www.ext2fsd.com/
If You ask me, I would rather have Linux accessing an NTFS partition than have Windows trying to write to an Ext2/3/4 partition. I am fully confident in the NTFS support from Linux but not the other way around.
If the Fat and NTFS partitions are not recognised by Windows, please check that the partitions are Fat32 or NTFS.
It may be that the file systems are NTFS / Fat but the partitions have Linux signatures.
Hope this helps

T400s Linux/Windows dual boot with Linux from Esata Flash Drive

This project is about a dual boot Windows/Linux system without using the normal dual boot changes in the bootloader of the windows hard drive. When I started this I found bits and pieces of information on the web but no complete description so I wrote this post.
I have done a dual boot system on my previous Thinkpad where I had partitioned the hard drive between Linux and windows. For this project I wanted to leave the windows hard drive absolutely intact and unaltered, and boot Linux from a flash drive in the esata port on the back of the T400s. Obviously this uses the F12 boot list function key to boot from the flash. The advantage of this is that Windows is totally unaltered and when I need Linux, I plug in the esata flash drive, hit F12 during the boot cycle and select booting from the esata flash drive. The reason for Esata rather than USB is simply speed. I have a nice fast Linux installation.
I used the OCZ esata flash drive but suspect any of the alternatives will work. It did not need the accessory usb cable because the Thinkpad powered the esata flash directly.
To boot from the esata drive I had to make the following changes in the bios
    I left the esata flash plugged in as I went into the bios
    Bios>config>Serial ATA and changed the Sata controller mode option to compatibility
    Restart and back into the Bios
    Bios>startup>boot - in my case the esata flash drive showed up as ATA HDD2 and was excluded from the boot order so I had to un-exclude it and move it to the point in the boot order that I wanted.
Next I downloaded a linux installation iso and put it on a CD - in my case opensuse. Then booted from the CD
From now on this instructions are specific to opensuse and yast but can be generalized to whatever Linux is being used.
In my case yast came up with a good set of suggestions for automatically partitioning the flash drive but then crashed during the partitioning itself. So I rebooted and specified the partitions manually.
    A fat32 partition left as a partition which both windows and Linux could see (in my case about 20% of the drive) (/dev/sdb1)
    An extended partition with the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb2) which contains the following logical partitions
    A linux Swap partition of 2GB (/dev/sdb5)
    A linux /home partition –the remainder of the drive (/dev/sdb6)
    A linux /root partition of 8GB (/dev/sdb7)
Yast automatically suggested mount points of C,D,E for the windows partitions. Unfortunately because of the way the Thinkpad hard drive was laid out Yast had C assigned the ThinkPad Service partition and D assigned to the SW_Preload (or main windows partition). However there was an edit function that allows for the reversal of those mount points so that the windows C drive is mounted in Linux as Windows/C thereby avoiding confusion. I had already backed up and removed the Thinkpad factory install data so I did not have to deal with that. Yast suggested Windows/E for the mount point of the FAT32 partition on the flash drive, which I accepted.
The yast install configurator made all this manual selection easy, and after the manual configuration the partitioning worked perfectly.
Next step was Linux user configuration which went fine
Next was booting.
In the section management tab
    delete the windows 1 and 2 options (since we are not dual booting directly)
In the boot loader installation tab
    uncheck boot from mbr ( this stops the install from installing Grub and dual boot on the windows c drive
    check boot from root partition (this installs grub and all associated files in the Linux root partition (/dev/sdb6)
I believe that the correct procedure at this point is to click Boot Loader installation details which will bring up the Grub device map. In the device map there will be a line for the fixed hard drive (aka the windows drive) and a line for the esata flash drive. When the installer started up these were in hard drive and esata drive order. However when we boot directly from the flash the esata drive will be grub drive hd0 and the fixed hard drive will be grub hd1. The device map order needs to be changed to reflect this ie the esata drive should be first not second.
I did not do this and ended up initially doing Grub command line editing to boot and later manually editing the grub files using information I had previously learned the hard way and through google.
At this point let the installer go ahead and install Linux. After doing this it should come back and tell you to reboot. Do not do it yet because we need to install the MBR into the flash drive.
I suspect that there is a way of doing this in Yast running from the Live CD but it was not obvious to me so I used the manual method that I have used before.
Open a root terminal
Mount /dev/sdb6 to /mnt/sdb6 (my linux root)
Touch /mnt/sdb6/boot/grub/flag
The purpose of this is when we go looking later at the grub command prompt we need an easy to find unique file
Start grub and do the following
#grub
            grub> find /boot/grub/flag
                (hd1,5)    -- the result of the find in my example
            grub> root (hd1,5)   -- using the result of the find in my example
            grub> setup (hd1)   -- install mbr -- my example parameters - if you get this wrong you will trash some other drive!!!
                  hopefully grub announces success
            grub> quit
Reboot and select the flash drive. In my case I still had the grub devicemap wrong and had to edit the grub commands during boot to tell grub how to find the correct partition and then edit them again after booting
Typical linux install issues that we all always seem to have and can be solved with a little (or a lot of) google research.
As I said at the beginning I now have an untouched windows installation and a nice fast Linux installation. I hope that this will be of some use to someone.

Hi chrissh
i tried this exact procedure... on the exact same notebook (T400s). However, as soon as I set the
   Bios>config>Serial ATA to "compatibility", I cannot use my default Windows installation! I immediately get the "blue screen of death".
I doubt I did anything differently since this is the first step of your procedure and my laptop is brand new!
any idea?
