My Installation Notes:
On my machines, here's how I installed the JDK 1.2:
1. For a Windows system, make a directory for your Java(TM)
installation. I called my directory C:\language.
You'll need to put the following file in that directory:
jdk12-win32.exe
You can obtain this file from Sun's download site
(http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/download-windows.html)
or from CD-ROMs that come with some Java(TM) books. I couldn't
include the file here because of licensing restrictions.
Once the file is in place, go to that directory follow the
installation directions from
http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/install-windows.html.
You'll end up with a subdirectory called jdk1.2 that contains
the JDK installation.
2. For Linux systems, log on as the root user, and change to
your installation directory (I used /usr/local/lib). Then find out
which C runtime libraries are installed on your machine. You can
do this with the command
ls -l /lib/libc.so.*
What you are looking for is lines of the form /lib/libc.so.
If all you see are lines where is 5, then you have libc5,
and you should copy jdk_1_1_7-v1a-libc5-x86_tar.gz to your
installation directory. If you have a line where is 6, then
you have glibc and you should copy jdk_1_1_7-v1a-glibc-x86_tar.gz
to your installation directory. Then run these commands:
tar -xzvf jdk_1_1_7-v1a-*-x86_tar.gz
rm jdk_1_1_7-v1a*x86_tar.gz
ln -s jdk117_v1a java
This installation puts the java executables in the directory
/usr/local/lib/java/bin, so I would suggest that you then add this
directory to your path.
3. To install all of the JDK documentation on your hard drive,
Windows users can copy jdk12-doc.zip to the directory that
already has jdk1.2 as a subdirectory (in my case, this was the
C:\language directory). Also copy unzip.exe to this directory
and then execute:
unzip jdk1.2
