Hello, everyone. I am new to collaborating to the JDK, so sorry if this question is too newbie‐ish.
I have recently been affected by a minor bug in the ‘java.desktop’ module on Linux. I figured I’d try to fix it by myself, so I followed the steps in the “How to Contribute” page, the “Building” page, as well as some more that I could find online. The bug number is ‘7162479’. The bug is that it calling ‘setLocationByPlatform(true)’ on a ‘JFrame’ will not work if ‘setResizable(false)’ has been called on the same ‘JFrame’. When I tried to build the JDK with ‘make images’, after getting a couple errors related to the changes I made and fixing them, I started to face a strange error that was not related to the changes I made at all. Here is the log I get when trying to run ‘make images’ currently, as well as the output of ‘hg id’, if that’s of any help (where ‘/home/zambonifofex/jdk $’ is the prompt): /home/zambonifofex/jdk/ $ hg id 2e91d927e00c+ tip /home/zambonifofex/jdk/ $ make images Building target 'images' in configuration 'linux-x86_64-normal-server-release' lib/JvmMapfile.gmk:141: recipe for target '/home/zambonifofex/jdk/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/symbols-objects' failed make[3]: *** [/home/zambonifofex/jdk/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/symbols-objects] Error 1 make[3]: *** Deleting file '/home/zambonifofex/jdk/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/symbols-objects' make/Main.gmk:257: recipe for target 'hotspot-server-libs' failed make[2]: *** [hotspot-server-libs] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

Thanks in advance.
