jdk8 makefile changes (original) (raw)

The configure script does set a few variables in the spec.gmk file that is used but the hotspot repo. (It does read the spec.gmk file)

We did forget about STATIC_CXX though, it should be added to spec.gmk and set appropriately, then the hotspot makefile that looks at it should be adjusted, because now it only allows STATIC_CXX to be set using the command line.

Hi Omair,

The static vs dynamic link check that you see is only in place for the JDK libraries not hotspot. For hotspot (which has not been modified as part of the build-infra project) you still need to pass STATICCXX=false as a make variable on the make invocation. Ah, false alarm then. Please ignore :) And yes, "make images STATICCXX=false" makes the build work for me. Thanks, Omair
