Hoi,
Hi,
I don't consider the fact that our RedHat 4WS machine (titan) has only Java 1.4 a limiting factor and/or reason to for the support of anchient Java 1.4. My main point was to make the software requirements for MonetDB quite clear. Apparently, Java 1.4 is no longer sufficient to compile all part of the MonetDB SW collection. Hence, we should tighten the requirements accordingly. Apparently, Java 1.5 seems to be the only version that allows to compile all MonetDB relates Java code successfully. On systems that do not have Java 1.5, but only Java <= 1.4 (e.g., RedHat 4WS on Itanium) or only Java >= 1.6, the MonetDB-related Java code can hence not be compiled. Since we know this, configure should say so instead of make failing with some strange error.
Yeah, and my main point is that it seems unreasonable to me to *have* to use *one* configure check for all sub-projects involved. clients can remain as-is. pathfinder just needs a check for 1.5 and up. Forcing 1.5 for all sub-projects sounds unreasonable and pointless to me.
Unfortunately, it's too late for this release, but the will be a next (bug-fix) release.
Neither did I want to suggest so.
