Hi Kelly,

The jdk8/build forest has been in sync for a few days, so anyone willing to try the new build system with OpenJDK 8, please follow these instructions:

hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/build jdk8-build cd jdk8-build sh ./getsource.sh cd common/makefiles ../autoconf/configure make images Let us know what works, what doesn't.

I tried it out and ran into a bit of a snag:

$ bash ../autoconf/configure checking for readlink... /usr/bin/readlink checking for apt-get... no checking for yum... yum checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /usr/bin/grep checking for gawk... gawk

checking if dynamic link of stdc++ is possible... yes checking if static link of stdc++ is possible... no configure: Static linking of libstdc++ was not possible reverting to dynamic linking. checking how to link with libstdc++... dynamic

A new configuration has been successfully created in /home/omajid/devel/jdk8-build/build/linux-x64-normal-server-release using default settings.

Build performance summary:

Build performance tip: ccache gives a tremendous speedup for C++ recompilations. You do not have ccache installed. Try installing it. You might be able to fix this by running 'sudo yum install ccache'. $ make images Building OpenJDK for target 'images' in configuration 'linux-x64-normal-server-release'

As you can tell, I don not have static c++ linking available, but linking dynamically is failing too. I have built other variants of openjdk 7 and 8 on this machine before using dynamic linking (STATIC_CXX=false), so I was expecting this to work. Is there any additional information I can provide to help?

Thanks, Omair
