I have been trying to get 1.4.2 to compile but appear to be hitting a
problem
early on that I am unable to get around. When cast errors out I do a
gaze compile j2sdk and the error at the end is:

ERROR: Your JAVAWS_BOOTDIR environment variable does not point
       to a valid Java 2 SDK for bootstrapping this build.
       A Java 2 SDK 1.4 build must be bootstrapped using
       J2SDK 1.4.0 fcs (or later).
       Apparently, your bootstrap JDK is version
       Please update your ALT_JAVAWS_BOOTDIR setting and start your build
again.

ERROR: Your BOOTDIR environment variable does not point
       to a valid Java 2 SDK for bootstrapping this build.
       A Java 2 SDK 1.4.2 build must be bootstrapped using
       J2SDK 1.4.1 fcs (or later).
       Apparently, your bootstrap JDK is version
       Please update your ALT_BOOTDIR setting and start your build again.

Exiting because of the above error(s).

As far as I can tell, both the ALT variables are set in the BUILD file and
yet the line in red
above, should say which version it thinks I am running.

I have tried spell with:

a) All patches applied (although I have to tell it where files are)
b) Only gcc and mkmsgcat patches applied
c) No patches

I have unpacked sources for j2sdk, mozilla_headers and bin file for
executable java and then
set variables by hand and have gone past this error only to hit a different
one.

My main concern though is to get as far with casting so I can learn more
about process as well
as try and help with this spell.

Any advices would be appreciated :)
