Recently I've been getting build failures on my Windows device that go something along the lines of: /msys64/ucrt64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/.../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: cannot find d:eclipseworkspacehotspotjdkbuildwindows-x86_64-server-releasehotspotvariant-serverlibjvmobjectsabstractCompiler.o: No such file or directory
The issue results from fixpath apparently deleting path separators when it transforms the path styles for Windows; It does add the proper drive name but ends up wiping all of the slashes in the path /d/eclipse/workspace/hotspot/jdk/build/windows-x86_64-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/objects/abstractCompiler.o ends up becoming (As seen above) d:eclipseworkspacehotspotjdkbuildwindows-x86_64-server-releasehotspotvariant-serverlibjvmobjectsabstractCompiler.o Curiously, it works fine only for the last path listed in the @file, so given a file containing: /d/eclipse/workspace/hotspot/jdk/build/windows-x86_64-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/objects/zWorkers.o /d/eclipse/workspace/hotspot/jdk/build/windows-x86_64-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/objects/jvm.dll.res the latter would properly convert to d:\eclipse\workspace\hotspot\jdk\build\windows-x86_64-server-release\hotspot\variant-server\libjvm\objects\jvm.dll.res but the former and everything before it would be affected The full generated build command (with the absolute paths truncated) is as follows fixpath exec g++.exe -Wl,--warn-unresolved-symbols -Wl,-O1 -m64 -shared -O3 -fuse-linker-plugin -fno-strict-aliasing -m64 -Wl,-version-script=/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/mapfile -Wl,-soname=jvm.dll -o /support/modules_libs/java.base/server/jvm.dll @/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/objects/_BUILD_LIBJVM_objectfilenames.txt /hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/objects/jvm.dll.res There aren't any peculiarities between the 2 compilers (I'm currently experimenting with the ucrt linking port of gcc) that should be causing this from what I can tell, out of curiosity, has this been an issue reported elsewhere before? I haven't figured out what's causing this so far unfortunately :( best regards, Julian
