You really aren't providing enough information to go on here. As of now, building 32bit requires a 32bit OS, and building 64bit requires a 64bit OS. The amd64 is a 64bit library, the i386 is a 32bit library, these libraries will not mix at runtime.
So there are lots of facts you are leaving out here: * What OS are you using (specific version arch distro etc.) * What is the make command line you are using * Have you looked at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html -kto On Mar 5, 2012, at 2:26 PM, Jason Van Cleve wrote: > Hi, > > I hope it's okay to ask questions here, as I've been having trouble > building "openjdk-6-src-b24-14_nov_2011".
