summary: 7113349: Initial changeset for Macosx port to jdk
though that version is broken (at least on GNU/Linux) without the change
to defines.h I posted in my patch earlier this week.
Right, that change was for Mac and it didn't have the goal to enable it
on Linux.
BTW: Looking at your patch then I suspect it will cause problems on
other platforms as it only sets ZLIB_LIBS in jdk_generic_profile.sh. If
folks aren't using this script to setup their environment then I'm sure
there will be a problem on Mac at least. I don't have time to spend on
it but I suspect Defs-macosx.gmk will need to be updated to make it the
default as it does now.
If IPP is binary compatible, surely setting ZLIB_LIBS/ZLIB_CFLAGS would
be sufficient? I don't know how different they are.
I believe it is binary compatible but I think Sherman is thinking a
runtime knob rather than a build-time option.
