Have you tried "apt build-dep openjdk-9"? This should install all the necessary build dependencies. This is cool! I did not know that. Unfortunately it seems not to work on my box: thomas at mint18 /shared/projects/openjdk/jdk-jdk/source $ sudo apt-get build-dep openjdk-9 Reading package lists... Done E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list

You need to add the corresponding "deb-src" entries for the "deb" entries in your /etc/apt/sources.list.

On my Debian box, it looks like this:

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main contrib non-free

For Linux Mint, you need to use the corresponding line from the Linux Mint mirrors. After editing the sources.list, you need to run "apt update".

:) Sure. As I wrote, I think the bug would be that configure does not display nice "you should run apt-get xxxxx" messages like it used to.

PS: If you are using a real Debian instead of Linux Mint, you get a free Multi-Arch environment for free and can easily cross-build OpenJDK for all the architectures found in Debian. Let me know if you want me to write up a small HowTo.

Such a braindump from you would be surely welcome.

I just realized I already did that:

Needs some updating though.
