[SOLVED] Slackware 15 64

Hello,
i installed NetBeans which requires Java 8. Now i needed to install LibreOffice, which requires Java 11. I get an error that my java version is too low.

Code:

echo $JAVA_HOME
/usr/lib64/zulu-openjdk8

which java
/usr/lib64/zulu-openjdk11/bin/java

java --version
openjdk 11.0.21 2023-10-17 LTS
OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.68+17-CA (build 11.0.21+9-LTS)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.68+17-CA (build 11.0.21+9-LTS, mixed mode)

please tell me how to proeprly set JAVA_HOME - perhaps LiberOffice checks there and that's why it fails.

Code:

ls -l /etc/profile.d/*jdk*.sh

If they are both executable, they are sourced in alphabetical order.

Maybe 'chmod -x' them both, and logout/login. Then explicitly source one of them according to your need.

In case needed, you may simply specify $JAVA_HOME before running the program. For example like this:

Code:

user$ JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/zulu-openjdk11 /usr/bin/libreoffice

or do

Code:

user$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib64/zulu-openjdk11

and then it will remain in that konsole (or other x terminal you use), till you close it.

If you need to set it permanently, set it in your /home/user/.bashrc, for example.
Edit: for permanent configuration better use the method provided by Petri above ^^^

sorry, i do not know how to properly source the "right version"

Code:

checking the installed JDK... configure: error: JDK is too old, you need at least 9 (10800 < 10900)
Error: build failed.
 An error occurred. Press Enter to return to main window ...

First, as root:

Code:

chmod -x /etc/profile.d/zulu-openjdk*.sh

Then logout and login. Now no JAVA variables are set.
Then if you need jdk11:

Code:

. /etc/profile.d/zulu-openjdk11.sh
# then start libreoffice stuff

The dot '.' or 'source' will read the file into current shell. Notice the space between the dot and the file name.
Or if you need jdk8:

Code:

. /etc/profile.d/zulu-openjdk8.sh
# NetBeans stuff

The variables are set only for that shell session.

LibreOffice is able to be built with a number of jdk versions. Similarly, netbeans is able to run with a number of jdk versions. I just installed netbeans then removed zulu-openjdk8 and installed openjdk11. After that netbeans seemed to run OK.

Therefore my suggestion is to just removepkg zulu-jdk8. Until you then logout/login again (which will clean up your java environment) you'll probably still have to source zulu-openjdk11 as others have already mentioned.

BTW - if netbeans maintainer sees this thread, netbeans is now at version 20. Having it depend on zulu-openjdk11 instead of zulu-openjdk8 would also fix the OP's problem.

You can set JAVA_HOME to the newer JDK and configure Netbeans
to point to the older JDK, just edit netbeans.conf, see snippit below.
Another option is to simply pass --jdkhome when launching Netbeans.

Quote:

#netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"
netbeans_jdkhome="/mnt/myjdks/jdk8"

JAVA_HOME problem was sloved by just removing older jdks logging out and in again.
sorry for shifting the topic but libreoffice still fails to be built

Code:

checking which languages to be built... en de
checking for msgfmt... msgfmt
checking for msguniq... msguniq
configure: error: invalid language: 'en' (vs ''); supported languages are: en-US af am ar as ast be bg bn bn-IN bo br brx bs ca ca-valencia ckb cs cy da de dgo dsb dz el en-GB en-ZA eo es et eu fa fi fr fur fy ga gd gl gu gug he hsb hi hr hu id is it ja ka kab kk km kmr-Latn kn ko kok ks lb lo lt lv mai mk ml mn mni mr my nb ne nl nn nr nso oc om or pa-IN pl pt pt-BR ro ru rw sa-IN sat sd sr-Latn si sid sk sl sq sr ss st sv sw-TZ szl ta te tg th tn tr ts tt ug uk uz ve vec vi xh zh-CN zh-TW zu
Error: build failed.

something is not right with locale, but sure to where exactly fix that

It looks like you set LOLANGS="en de" but what you probably want is LOLANGS="de".

From the README:

Code:

1. support additional languages by overriding the LOLANGS variable,
   whose default setting is LOLANGS="de es fr id it ja nl vi zh-CN".
   Note that en-US is always added to whatever LOLANGS is set. Thus
   building with, for example,
       LOLANGS="de" sh LibreOffice.SlackBuild
   would build LibreOffice with support for german and US english
   languages.

If you really want to specify english despite it being included by default, then you could have LOLANGS="en-US de" as the configure error message explains.
