Installation Notes for 64-bit Support
Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition
Version 1.4.2
Solaris (SPARC Platform Edition) Operating System
|
 |
Installing the 64-bit Java 2 SDK for the Solaris operating system
on SPARC platforms is a two-step process.
-
First, install the 32-bit Java 2 SDK.
Refer to the
32-bit Java 2 SDK Installation Notes
.
-
Second, install the supplemental files for 64-bit support using the following
64-bit installation instructions.
64-bit Installation Instructions
Follow this procedure to install support for 64-bit operation
of the Java 2 SDK on SPARC processors. You must
install the 32-bit Java 2 SDK before
proceeding with these instructions.
As with the installation of the 32-bit Java 2 SDK, the 64-bit
supplemental support is available in two installation formats;
use the same installation format as you used
for the installation of the 32-bit Java 2 SDK.
Note: For any text on this page containing the following
notation, you must substitute the appropriate Java 2 SDK update version number
for the notation.
<version>
For example, if you are downloading update 1.4.2_01, the following command:
chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_2_<version>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
would become:
chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_2_01-solaris-sparcv9.sh
Installation of Self-Extracting Binary
Follow these instructions to add 64-bit support to the Java 2 SDK which
has already been installed using the self-extracting binary. If you want to install
Solaris packages comprising the SDK, see
Installation of Solaris Packages.
1.
Download the self-extracting binary and check the download file size.
You can download to any directory you choose; it does not have
to be the directory where you want to install the J2SE.
Before you download the file, notice its byte size provided
on the download page on the web site.
Once the download has completed, compare that file size
to the size of the downloaded file to make sure they are equal.
2.
Make sure that execute permissions are set on
the self-extracting binary:
chmod +x j2sdk-1_4_2_<version>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
3.
Change directory to the same directory from where you
ran the self-extracting binary for the 32-bit install.
This is the directory that contains the
j2sdk1.4.2_<version> directory of the 32-bit J2SE.
The next step installs the J2SE into the current directory.
4.
Run the self-extracting binary.
Execute the downloaded file, prepending the path to it.
For example, if the downloaded file is in the current directory,
prepend it with "./":
./j2sdk-1_4_2_<version>-solaris-sparcv9.sh
The binary code license is displayed, and you are prompted
to agree to its terms.
The supplemental files for 64-bit support are installed
in directories named sparcv9
at several locations within the same j2sdk1.4.2_<version>
directory where the 32-bit J2SE was installed.
Installation of Solaris Packages
Use these instructions if you want to use the pkgadd utility to install
64-bit support for the Java 2 SDK.
1.
Check the download file size
Before you download a file, notice that its byte size is provided
on the download page.
Once the download has completed, check that you have downloaded the
full, uncorrupted software file.
2.
Extract the contents of the compressed tar file:
zcat j2sdk-1_4_2_<version>-solaris-sparcv9.tar.Z | tar -xf -
This will create the SUNWj3dvx, SUNWj3rtx, and SUNWj3dmx packages
which contain 64-bit support for the Java 2 SDK.
3.
Become root by running su and entering
the super-user password.
4.
Run the pkgadd command to install the packages.
pkgadd -d . SUNWj3rtx SUNWj3dvx SUNWj3dmx
This will install the files for 64-bit support into the
Java 2 SDK 1.4.2_<version> installation at /usr/j2se.
5.
Delete the tar files and extracted directories.
6.
Exit the root shell.
