RFR (M): Enable OpenJDK builds on Windows with MinGW/MSYS (original) (raw)

Hi Jonathan,

you're right, I havn't looked at the tests until now - just wanted to get the build up and running.

My only concerns so far are the few tests which require a Korn Shell as I think there's no ksh available for MinGW/Msys.

But I promise to look at it.

By the way, has anybody ever successfully run the tests on Windows with either MKS or Cygwin?

Regards, Volker

Volker,

This work is very interesting! Have you looked at what changes might be necessary to any shell tests in the langtools/test and jdk/test directories? Many test shell scripts have a block of code of the form:

OS=uname -s case "$OS" in  SunOS | Linux | *BSD | Darwin )  NULL=/dev/null  PATHSEP=":"  FILESEP="/"  TMP=/tmp  ;;  CYGWIN* )  NULL=/dev/null  PATHSEP=";"  FILESEP="/"  TMP=/tmp  ;;  Windows* )  NULL=NUL  PATHSEP=";"  FILESEP="\"  TMP=$TEMP  ;;  * )  echo "Unrecognized system!"  exit 1;  ;; esac What would the equivalent case statement be for minGW/MSYS? -- Jon
