Hi Tim, I'm really happy to see that you are now taking care of this!
The link to the referenced e-mail thread doesn't seem to work, so here's an alternative link: "RFR (M): Enable OpenJDK builds on Windows with MinGW/MSYS" http://old.nabble.com/RFR-%28M%29%3A-Enable-OpenJDK-builds-on-Windows-with-MinGW-MSYS-td33466599.html And yet another link to an older mail thread which gives some background information and finally led to the proposed MinGW change: "Is anyone able to build on Win 7" http://old.nabble.com/Is-anyone-able-to-build-on-Win-7-td33196055.html Regards, Volker On Thu, Jun 14, 2012 at 7:31 AM, Tim Bell <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello everyone- > > Kelly asked me to pick up on bug #/7152336 "//Enable builds on Windows with > MinGW/MSYS"/, and this email thread: > > http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-April/thread.html#6083 > > As David pointed out, we will need at least one other bug # for the hotspot > changes.
