Hi Magnus,

Ok I reverted the VM to the point before installing the dependencies.

Here you go:Runnable configure script is not present Generating runnable configure script at /shared/projects/openjdk/jdk-jdk/output-fastdebug/configure-support/generated-configure.sh Using autoconf at /usr/bin/autoconf [autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.69] configure: Configuration created at Wed Apr 25 12:06:11 CEST 2018. checking for basename... /usr/bin/basename checking for bash... /bin/bash checking for cat... /bin/cat checking for chmod... /bin/chmod checking for cmp... /usr/bin/cmp checking for comm... /usr/bin/comm checking for cp... /bin/cp checking for cut... /usr/bin/cut checking for date... /bin/date checking for gdiff... no checking for diff... /usr/bin/diff checking for dirname... /usr/bin/dirname checking for echo... /bin/echo checking for expr... /usr/bin/expr checking for file... /usr/bin/file checking for find... /usr/bin/find checking for head... /usr/bin/head checking for gunzip... /bin/gunzip checking for pigz... no checking for gzip... /bin/gzip checking for ln... /bin/ln checking for ls... /bin/ls checking for mkdir... /bin/mkdir checking for mktemp... /bin/mktemp checking for mv... /bin/mv checking for nawk... /usr/bin/nawk checking for printf... /usr/bin/printf checking for greadlink... no checking for readlink... /bin/readlink checking for rm... /bin/rm checking for rmdir... /bin/rmdir checking for sh... /bin/sh checking for sort... /usr/bin/sort checking for tail... /usr/bin/tail checking for gtar... no checking for tar... /bin/tar checking for tee... /usr/bin/tee checking for touch... /usr/bin/touch checking for tr... /usr/bin/tr checking for uname... /bin/uname checking for uniq... /usr/bin/uniq checking for wc... /usr/bin/wc checking for which... /usr/bin/which checking for xargs... /usr/bin/xargs checking for gawk... gawk checking for grep that handles long lines and -e... /bin/grep checking for egrep... /bin/grep -E checking for fgrep... /bin/grep -F checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed checking for cygpath... no checking for df... /bin/df checking for cpio... /bin/cpio checking for nice... /usr/bin/nice checking for pandoc... no checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking openjdk-build os-cpu... linux-x86_64 checking openjdk-target os-cpu... linux-x86_64 checking compilation type... native checking for top-level directory... /shared/projects/openjdk/jdk-jdk/source checking if custom source is suppressed (openjdk-only)... no checking which variant of the JDK to build... normal checking which debug level to use... release checking which variants of the JVM to build... server checking for sysroot... checking for toolchain path... checking for extra path... checking where to store configuration... in current directory configure: Current directory is /shared/projects/openjdk/jdk-jdk/output-fastdebug. configure: Since this is not the source root, configure will output the configuration here configure: (as opposed to creating a configuration in /build/). configure: However, this directory is not empty.

Hi all, Hi Thomas, What does the output from configure look like? The config.log file does not really help tell us how far into our configure script we've come. As John pointed out, the problem here was (likely) that you were missing the needed C libraries. However, we should have a test for this in configure, and I'm surprised it didn't alert you to the problem. /Magnus

I got a configure error on a fresh, virgin Linux Mint 18.3 install. I have not yet installed anything on that box (the only thing I installed is autoconf). This fails at a point where normally I would get suggestions about which tools to install with apt-get (which, btw, is really nice). config.log contains this: ------- Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-5/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,java,go,d,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --program-suffix=-5 --enable-shared --enable-linker-build-id --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --libdir=/usr/lib --enable-nls --with-sysroot=/ --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-libstdcxx-time=yes --with-default-libstdcxx-abi=new --enable-gnu-unique-object --disable-vtable-verify --enable-libmpx --enable-plugin --with-system-zlib --disable-browser-plugin --enable-java-awt=gtk --enable-gtk-cairo --with-java-home=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64/jre --enable-java-home --with-jvm-root-dir=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64 --with-jvm-jar-dir=/usr/lib/jvm-exports/java-1.5.0-gcj-5-amd64 --with-arch-directory=amd64 --with-ecj-jar=/usr/share/java/eclipse-ecj.jar --enable-objc-gc --enable-multiarch --disable-werror --with-arch-32=i686 --with-abi=m64 --with-multilib-list=m32,m64,mx32 --enable-multilib --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release --build=x8664-linux-gnu --host=x8664-linux-gnu --target=x8664-linux-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.5) configure:35364: $? = 0 configure:35353: /usr/bin/gcc -V >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-V' gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. configure:35364: $? = 1 configure:35353: /usr/bin/gcc -qversion >&5 gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-qversion' gcc: fatal error: no input files compilation terminated. configure:35364: $? = 1 configure:35384: checking whether the C compiler works configure:35406: /usr/bin/gcc -m64 -m64 conftest.c >&5 /usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc /usr/bin/ld: cannot find crtn.o: No such file or directory collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status configure:35410: $? = 1 configure:35448: result: no configure: failed program was: | /* confdefs.h */ | #define PACKAGENAME "OpenJDK" | #define PACKAGETARNAME "openjdk" | #define PACKAGEVERSION "jdk9" | #define PACKAGESTRING "OpenJDK jdk9" | #define PACKAGEBUGREPORT "build-dev at openjdk.java.net" | #define PACKAGEURL "http://openjdk.java.net" | /* end confdefs.h. */ | | int | main () | { | | ; | return 0; | } configure:35453: error: in `/shared/projects/openjdk/jdk-jdk/output-fastdebug': configure:35455: error: C compiler cannot create executables ----------------- Weirdly enough the compiler is ran once with -qversion, which is an AIX-only option, and once with -V, which is not valid either. Has anyone seen this already? (Note that I used Mint18.3 as development machine before and it just worked). Thanks, Thomas
