Hi
In the 7u40/jdk/make/common/shared/Compiler-msvc.gmk, the code for computing the
CC_VER does work with a French VS2010 Express compiler
CC_VER := $(shell $(CC) 2>&1 | $(HEAD) -n 1 | $(SED) 's/.*\(Version.*\)/\1/' |
$(NAWK) '{print $$2}')
because the cl command returns
Compilateur d'optimisation Microsoft (R) 32 bits C/C++ version 16.00.30319.01
pour 80x86

utilisation : cl [ option... ] nom de fichier... [ /link linkoption... ]
So, soneone from the build team would say: Hey guy, pick up the English version
and it will work!. But that does not work neither because when one download
VS2010 Express from a French territory, one gets the French version EVEN if the
English version was explicitly requested (I made it twice, thinking I missed to
select the English version).
The problem has already been solved in the hotspot build by using the externals
variables FORCE_MSC_VER and FORCE_LINK_VERSION in this file
/hotspot/make/windows/get_msc_ver.sh
I can build a fix for this issue but I think it is better than someone from the
build team fix this issue because of the overall responsibility of making the
build correct on the WXP/VS2010 as well as others platforms which I do not have.
