When building jdk15 WITHOUT_WEB=yes (default on amd64), it fails missing iconv.h (see below). It seem obvious to me that libiconv is needed when building the jdk, even if WITHOUT_WEB=YES. installing libiconv fixes the problem. I built jdk by getting a package from another amd64 machine (running FreeBSD-5.4pX), installing the package and also the compat5x port. Then cd /usr/ports/java/jdk15 && make WITHOUT_WEB=YES : gmake[4]: Leaving directory `/opt/ports/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java/management' gmake[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/ports/usr/ports/java/jdk15/work/j2se/make/java/management' <<<Finished Recursively making management all @ Thu Nov 24 23:57:46 CET 2005. Fix: Simple fix (works for me):
