Hi,
The build instructions on
http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Building#One-Step_Build
need to be updated. Step two should be:
cd dsbuild-fds102/meta/ds
I can confirm that FDS 1.0.2 builds out-of-the-box on my Rawhide workstation on a completely free stack (no proprietary JDK required for the Java bits). This is excellent news!
As a smoke test I tried running startconsole on java-gcj-compat. It fails immediately with a GC out-of-memory error. This is because gij's support for the -ms and -mx options is limited. Would it be OK to remove these options from the launcher scripts for the next release?
When I remove -ms8m -mx64m from startconsole the GUI tool works well on our free Swing implementation. I've attached a screenshot.
Could someone add a note about this workaround to the release notes?
Thanks, Tom
