As a complete novice at this cmake stuff, I read with interest the files within your link and your post also. I have dabbled with java and have a little interest in dabbling with openJDK. But I know of no recipe for building openJDK (there used to be one at ( http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/OpenJDK ) but no more. And this site ( http://openjdk.java.net/ ) is not particularly helpful; . Have you tried building openJDK with cmake? Or do you know of anyone who has? Or would you like to give your java/c{c++}/cmake-macros a test run and let us stand on your shoulders? _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
