I imagine there are probably hundreds of variable names that if set in the environment, could impact the build, on purpose or by accident :^(. We do check for JAVA_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
Is JAVAC some kind of typical or standard environment variable that people set? I've never seen any use of the name JAVAC in the environment. If it's a common use, then yes, maybe a sanity check is in order. -kto On Apr 19, 2011, at 4:53 AM, Frédéric Le Mouël wrote: > Hi all, > > I just succeed in compiling open-jdk7 on a Linux gentoo. > FYI, after fighting a bit, I had to unset JAVAC environment variable > to let it compile.
