If SXDE contains Sun Studio 12 (SS12), you may have some problems with compiling
hotspot. I've integrated some hotspot changes to deal with SS12 issues
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/hotspot/hotspot/rev/a49545cab84a
(hasn't been integrated into the master jdk7/jdk7 repositories yet).

The rest of the jdk may compile file with SS12, but lots of warnings about
the use of -xarch options, harmless but annoying. I'm working on the rest
of the SS12 Makefile changes for the jdk, to get rid of these warnings etc.

If you can get a Sun Studio 11 installed, would be better right now.

I used a previous version of SXDE to build OpenJDK a while back, but it
had SS11 in it at that time, so it was a while ago.
Looks like the latest SXDE includes Sun Studio Express compilers, which
are effectively SS12+ I assume.

Hey, anybody had luck building OpenJDK on SXDE 1/08? (Curious to know before I download the VMWare image.)

I’m assuming that most of the bits will be there already, but I’d be grateful for anybody who’s “been there, done that” to tell me if any patches or additional libraries have be downloaded and installed before building the latest JDK7 bits there….
