What is the Build Process for Codes inside jdk/src/macosx/native/jobjc (original) (raw)

Hi David,

Under src/macosx/native/jobjc folder, it contains not only native *.m source files, but also *.java files. If you check the build results in build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/jdk folder, it contains some build results specific for jobjc, say gensrc_jobjc/, gensrc_headers_jobjc/, jobjc_classes/, jobjc_classes_headers/.

So it must have some extra build steps to generate those jobjc results. And I wonder what they are and why they are special and not merged into the regular native compilation and java compilation processes. Thanks!

Hi Dan,

I don't quite understand the question but all native code building is handled via jdk/makefiles/CompileNativeLibraries.gmk which in turn utilizes the set up from /common/makefiles/NativeCompilation.gmk HTH David On 18/04/2013 9:51 AM, Dan Xu wrote: Adding core-libs-dev

As for the sourcecodes for mac platform, it has a special place holding native and java codes for jdk, jdk/src/macosx/native/jobjc. I wonder how those codes are builtand whether its compilation process has any special handling. Thanks! -Dan
