Oracle SQL Developer

[martinko-5]

Hallo,

Would someone care to port Oracle's SQL Developer to FreeBSD, please ?

Many thanks in advance!

Martin

There is actually nothing to port, just download the non-JRE platform
independent zip file, unpack and run "bash sqldeveloper" from
sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin directory.

Works for me (7.0-BETA3 on amd64, self-compiled sun jdk15 from ports).

Well,

I've tried it on 6-STABLE (6.2.something) and it got stuck at splash
screen.  Btw, I've noticed output like this in terminal:

expr: illegal option -- X
usage: expr [-e] expression
expr: illegal option -- D
usage: expr [-e] expression

Also, all the scripts use #!/bin/bash which doesn't work in FreeBSD.
And I'd like to install it in /usr/local/... so that all users can use
it and it can be included in portaudit checks and checked for upgrades
via ports system, etc etc.

Thanks,

Martin

  When I first ran it, I had the same problem.  Then I noticed that
there was a prompt window behind the splash screen.  I was able to
grab the edge and pull the window over and answer the prompt.

  Linux expr has different options then the FreeBSD expr.  I ignore
  these errors since they are testing paths and my install is working.

  I wrote a wrapper script to handle this,

=============================================

#!/usr/local/bin/zsh

cd ~/src/Java/sqldeveloper/sqldeveloper/bin/
bash ./sqldeveloper $@

=============================================

...you could also link /usr/local/bin/bash to /bin/bash.

In my window manager I was able to move that window to another place and
answer "No" to the question. The window is hidden by the splash screen,
but it is possible to move it by mean of the menu window in the task
bar.

A workaround is to prefix the arguments of expr command with
a double hyphen (--)

It does not matter as the script are executed under sh shell:

$ sh sqldeveloper

I think it would be possible to run sqldeveloper without any reference
to bash shell. I have submitted a problem report to port sqldeveloper:

Any feedback will be appreciated.
