Hello,

I have tried the MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL environment variable, thanks for the suggestion. It's supposed to be a semi-colon separated list of argument prefixes (they have some examples like /switch;/sdcard;--root=), so I tried setting it to /out:, -Fe (from the .m4 file) and /out, and also just the entire path that is being mangled. But none of them worked :( (still the same error).

I'm trying to build the amber repo, which I think is parallel with jdk/jdk tip? Any ways, there is no autogen.sh in /make/autoconf and anytime I make changes to the .m4 file it mentions something about having to regenerate the configure file. I can also see the changes I make in /build/.configure-support/generated-configure.sh, which currently looks like this (the part I mentioned):

Which gives me this output (the last few lines):

So the changes I'm making seem to be going through... well... at least as far as the echo statements go. I also tried using -e on the check that is not comment out, but with no different results (I'm also using autoconf 2.69 btw). This is kind of a head scratcher éh. I'm calling it a night, I think I'll also try taking this up with the msys guys, some other time.

Thanks for the help so far, Jorn Vernee

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't help. TBH, I've been banging my head against trying to build the JDK on my machine on and off for a few months. So at this point I really appreciate any help that gets me even an inch further, thanks. After your suggestion, I have tracked down the call site of the compile command and checked the paths that are being used in basicswindows.m4 (line 406) to compile fixpath.exe: _ _cd $FIXPATHDIR_ _$CC <span class="katex"><span class="katex-mathml"><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><semantics><mrow><mi>F</mi><mi>I</mi><mi>X</mi><mi>P</mi><mi>A</mi><mi>T</mi><mi>H</mi><mi>S</mi><mi>R</mi><mi>C</mi><mi>W</mi><mo>−</mo><mi>F</mi><mi>e</mi></mrow><annotation encoding="application/x-tex">FIXPATHSRCW -Fe</annotation></semantics></math></span><span class="katex-html" aria-hidden="true"><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.7667em;vertical-align:-0.0833em;"></span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.13889em;">F</span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.07847em;">I</span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.13889em;">XP</span><span class="mord mathnormal">A</span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.13889em;">T</span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.08125em;">H</span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.07153em;">SRC</span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.13889em;">W</span><span class="mspace" style="margin-right:0.2222em;"></span><span class="mbin">−</span><span class="mspace" style="margin-right:0.2222em;"></span></span><span class="base"><span class="strut" style="height:0.6833em;"></span><span class="mord mathnormal" style="margin-right:0.13889em;">F</span><span class="mord mathnormal">e</span></span></span></span>FIXPATHBINW > $FIXPATHDIR/fixpath1.log_ _2>&1_ _cd $CURDIR_ _ They are: $CC = /j/progra2/micros2.0/vc/bin/amd64/cl $FIXPATHBINW = J:/Projects/openjdk/amber/make/autoconf/build/windows-x8664-normal-server-release/configure-support/bin/fixpath.exe $FIXPATHDIR = /J/Projects/openjdk/amber/make/autoconf/build/windows-x8664-normal-server-release/configure-support/fixpath Note that the second one is a windows style path. I can change that to use the unix style path, and that does affect the error message, I now see: '/J/Projects/openjdk/amber/make/autoconf/build/windows-x8664-normal-server-release/configure-support/bin/fixpath.exe' as the path in the linker error. But of course the Visual Studios linker can't do anything with a unix style path. What's weird is that either path is working for the C compiler (cl), but it is being mangled before being passed to the linker, and I can't find where the linker command is actually being fired off. It seems to be done by that same line. I was hoping you could tell me more about that? AFAIK, we compile fixpath from a single source file directly into an executable, so it's cl that calls link. Somewhere along the way, msys decides to mangle your path argument incorrectly. You could try using MSYS2ARGCONVEXCL to disable the mangling. I don't remember exactly how it works but I know you can affect the mangling using this env variable. One other idea I had, but haven't been able to implement, is to check whether the fixpath tool exists before trying to compile it. That way I could just compile it manually.

That didn't work, the check seems to be failing and it's still trying to compile (and I don't know why, I hope it's not a tabs vs. spaces issue?). I also tried just commenting that part out completely, but it's STILL trying to compile. I have no idea why that is happening a this point. It's also immediately spitting out 'no' after printing 'checking if fixpath can be created...', even before all the output from the compiler, so it almost seems like the command is being fired off from somewhere else? Or maybe it's just a race condition, idk. What version of OpenJDK are you trying to build? As in which repository did you clone. Depending on which, you may need to explicitly regenerate the configure script after making changes to .m4 files. There is a script, autogen.sh, in the same directory as the .m4 files to do it correctly. This requires autoconf 2.69 to be available. The language in .m4 is autoconf, which (in our case) is bash shell with m4 macros on top. Most of the source, including your snippet above is just bash. So your change above looks correct, you just need to get it to be used. You could try changing the -x to -e in case execute permissions aren't translated properly between msys and windows. /Erik If you have any more suggestions I really appreciate it, but if it's too much trouble for an unsupported build system I understand. Best regards, Jorn Vernee
