[platform-dev] Building and running Eclipse on Debian (testing) PowerPC?

[Andrew Keedle <andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've managed to build Eclipse on the above platform, but when I run the eclipse binary I get a "problem during startup" dialog and the following message in the ./workspace/.metadata/.log:

!SESSION ----------------------------------------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 Sep 13, 2002 07:40:08.813
!MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform:

When running with the -debug switch I get the following messages on the console:

drewpy@powerg4:/usr/src/eclipse$ ./eclipse -debug

-cp /usr/src/eclipse/./startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main

-debug 
Startup: unable to load configuration
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/src/eclipse/.config/platform.cfg (No such file or directory)
Boot URL:

Startup: splash path = /usr/src/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.core.boot/splash.bmp
Workspace location:

Debug-Options:

Anybody able to shed any light on this?

Thanks,
