Hi Stuart, Thanks for looking into that for me, I'll keep a note of the location of Sanity.gmk going forwards. I have managed to resolve the issue, it was a curious case where my 1.8.2 ANT install couldn't find $ALT_BOOTDIR//lib/tools.jar and therefore 'failed', the build then defaulted back to an ant under the langtools folder.
I corrected a permissions problem on the tools.jar file and make sanity ran smoothly after that. Now having fun trying to find the exact Ubnutu package that contains the X11 headers the build needs, but that's a different story :-) Cheers, Martijn On 28 March 2012 02:22, Stuart Marks <stuart.ma...@oracle.com> wrote: > Hi Martijn! > > One of my colleagues ran into this the other day.
