Re: Help: jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk:563: *** ERROR: Trouble with the absolute path for OUTPUTDIR '
Mike Le 05/11/2013 07:16, Mike Duigou a écrit : Hi Using a fresh copy of the jdk7u repository, and running make -d sanity, I got the error below. Why OUTPUTDIR must be absolute or if it must be absolute, why it is not when running make sanity? In general, using absolute paths always helps for this kind of configuration work. I do not understand your remark. I did not specify anything for OUTPUTDIR, neither on the command line, neither as exported variable. OUTPUT is computed by one of the included makefile and no one should have to specify it by default since by the end, its value is build/windows-i586 relative to the top level directory. It seems to me that OUTPUTDIR is computed in the jdk subdirectory makefiles while it is not in the top level Makefile. Thus, the check that it must be absolute in the included jdk/make/common/shared/Defs.gmk fails. The only way I found to bypass this error is to set ALT_OUTPUTDIR=Z:/JDK/hsx/jdk7u/build/windows-i586 It seems like passing an absolute OUTPUTDIR is the solution and I suspect it should be a /cydrive path not a native path. From my point of view, it seems more a conflicting option setting between the top level single Makefile and all the jdk subdir makefiles. Be aware that it is not possible to build OpenJDK on Windows. There are components and build logic missing (FreeType among them) that would be necessary to build a working JDK. Unless you are working on adding the missing components, attempting to build OpenJDK on Windows is probably destined to be a fruitless endeavour. If you are interested in working on adding support for Windows to OpenJDK builds (as opposed to Oracle Java which does have Windows builds) then the jdk 8 project is probably a more worthwhile direction.

OUTPUT is computed by one of the included makefile and no one should have to specify it by default since by the end, its value is build/windows-i586 relative to the top level directory. Sorry, I had forgotten how the old build worked. When using the old build system I frequently used ALT_OUTPUTDIR and when using that it was always better to use an absolute path.

This works! I was unaware that anyone had gotten this to work. This is actually very good news! I do note that this could be simplified using the new build system and some items like DirectX detection are no longer relevant.
