Compiling OpenJDK

[Paul Smedley]

Hey All,

Wondering if anyone has ever (other than Dmik!) been able to compile OpenJDK on OS/2? ie https://trac.netlabs.org/java

I haven't tried for some time, but had previously attemped to follow the instructions a https://trac.netlabs.org/java/browser/tags/ga5/README and not gotten very far.

It would be nice to at least get the current code compiling, which could then form a basis for how feasible it is to use this code to updated to a newer openjdk version.

Cheers,

Paul

Doesn't look simple, in particular finding "The contents of the j2sdk-image directory of the Windows build of OpenJDK6"
I think to go any newer would take more fixes in Odin. Wouldn't be surprised if newer GCC's have problems, just compiling Mozilla and getting a working optimized binary was quite a challenge with luckily lots of hints in Bugzilla for newer Firefox's.
I might give it a try at some point.

Well if nothing else, there is a b49 at https://github.com/openjdk/jdk6 (vs our current b27)

Edit: https://download.oracle.com/otn/java/jdk/6u45-b06/jdk-6u45-windows-i586.exe might help for the j2sdk-image directory

Hi Paul

I completely support the idea to see what can it be done with OpenJDK, but I don't know if it will be too much to this and the Qt 6 port at the same time.

Check if something can be done, and let us know how can we support you.

Regards

I see Oracle wants a login to download that Anyone all ready have one?

It was free to create an account...

Yes, I prefer not to create too many accounts, lose track of them and often results in spam. Anyways have it now.

Next problem is pulling odin/trunk. After messing around, this works, svn co https://svn.netlabs.org/repos/odin32/ sorta until,

Code: [Select]

A    odin32/tags/0.8.9/src/kernel32/directory.h
A    odin32/tags/0.8.9/src/riched32
svn: E175002: REPORT request on '/repos/odin32/!svn/me' failed
and checks out everything, trying for trunk to begin with results in a bad URL error, trunk is something else or such. Continuing on after cleaning the repository with svn up till the same error. Repeat for every tag.

svn co https://svn.netlabs.org/repos/odin32/trunk/
worked here
edit:
you can do svn co https://svn.netlabs.org/repos/odin32/trunk/ .
the dot puts everthing in the current directory, without the dot, it puts it into a directory under the current directory - trunk.

FYI: If you want to create the Odin and OpenJDK github repositories, you can do it under the Netlabsorg organization.

I think you have access the create new repos now.

Yes, my problem was already having a trunk directory.
Building Odin, I have no experience with. The Java Port readme says to configure with configure.cmd --use-oldlib. Guess run kmk -f Config.kmk and see what happens and how to set up the environment.

[Dave Yeo]

Hmm, build of Odin dies with lots of errors like,

Code: [Select]

K:/work/odin/trunk/src/kernel32/console.cpp:1627:1: error: narrowing conversion
of '144' from 'int' to 'char' [-Wnarrowing]
K:/work/odin/trunk/src/kernel32/console.cpp:1627:1: error: narrowing conversion
of '128' from 'int' to 'char' [-Wnarrowing]

Thought CHAR was defined as 0..255, not 0..127. Use UCHAR? Or uCHAR?

Probably a change in GCC since 4.9.2 where warnings are now errors.

I set an import going to https://github.com/netlabsorg/odin32 - looks like it's going to take a while.....
