Re: Problems with JDK8 build on Ubuntu?

[dalibor topic]

The cpio message comes from OpenJDK's configure script. See 
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u/file/a0672a294b9a/common/autoconf/basics.m4 



  BASIC_REQUIRE_PROG(CPIO, cpio)

I would doubt that all OpenJDK build dependencies are part of the 
typical docker image, so you should run apt-get build-dep openjdk-8 (or 
9, depending on which one you're trying to create a CI image for) as 
part of your docker build.

On top of that, I just got an OpenJDK 9 image to build fine inside of Docker

I would say most of them are not Debian-specific. However, many of the

that exist in Debian.

The current list of patches used in the openjdk-9 package can be found in [1].

Re: Problems with JDK8 build on Ubuntu?

[dalibor topic]

See https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Supported+Build+Platforms

Other JDK 8 build platforms

Linux x86 and x86_64(green star)Ubuntu 14.04gcc 4.8.2   Works 
flawlessly
(green star)Ubuntu 13.10gcc 4.8.1   Works flawlessly


Ubuntu Server seems to be 16.04 or 17.10, so you may need to play with 
g++ flags to not error out on warnings, in case that g++ on the system 
is too ... fresh. It should build fine with gcc 6 based systems, too, 
while you may need to disable warnings as errors with gcc 7.

Oh, one other more general question: Has anybody built OpenJDK successfully

I know AdoptOpenJDK has a Docker image, too, but I’m not sure how to use it and 
sort of gave up fairly quickly when it wasn’t brutally obvious. (I can’t tell 
if the Docker image there includes the source or not, and/or if the source 
would need to be mounted in a separate volume, and how then it would be updated 
when new changes are made, etc.) I should probably figure all that out, but I 
was trying to go with the least-amount-of-work path to get to a slowdebug

The old one is not maintained.  However, it is the reference
implementation of JDK 8 and -- like the laws of the Medes and Persians
-- can never be changed.

OK, so it’s still at java.net; that’s good to know. :-)

Re: Problems with JDK8 build on Ubuntu?

[Ted Neward]

Oh, one other more general question: Has anybody built OpenJDK successfully 
using Ubuntu Server? (I just need a quick build VM, I don’t necessarily need 
all the GUI bells and whistles, in many/most cases.)

I know AdoptOpenJDK has a Docker image, too, but I’m not sure how to use it and 
sort of gave up fairly quickly when it wasn’t brutally obvious. (I can’t tell 
if the Docker image there includes the source or not, and/or if the source 
would need to be mounted in a separate volume, and how then it would be updated 
when new changes are made, etc.) I should probably figure all that out, but I 
was trying to go with the least-amount-of-work path to get to a slowdebug 
version of the OpenJDK that I could use for some diagnostic purposes for 
digging into the G1 GC.

Errr….. What’s the difference, again?

I cloned java.net/jdk8/jdk8, which is what I thought was the correct repo—is 
there a new URL? I haven’t done this in a while, so I jumped onto Google and 
took the first URL in a description that seemed correct. Am I trying to clone 
the wrong repo?

You're not trying to build jdk8/jdk8 instead of jdk8u/jdk8u, right?

 I suggest having a look at the Debian packaging source for the openjdk-8 package

 which is also used in Ubuntu (the maintainer is Matthias Klose in both 
cases) [1].
 
 Have a look at the patches in debian/patches as well as the build script in debian/

 rules. This should give you the right idea on what is necessary to OpenJDK 
8 build
 on Ubuntu.
 
 Please also make sure you have the necessary build dependencies installed:
 
 # apt build-dep openjdk-8

Re: Problems with JDK8 build on Ubuntu?

Yeah, I’ve got build-dep and openjdk-8. I’ll have a look at the source, but 
this begs a question: Why hasn’t it been backported to the JDK8 repo, if it’s a 
known fix?

I suggest having a look at the Debian packaging source for the openjdk-8 
package
which is also used in Ubuntu (the maintainer is Matthias Klose in both 
cases) [1].

Have a look at the patches in debian/patches as well as the build script in 
debian/
rules. This should give you the right idea on what is necessary to OpenJDK 
8 build
on Ubuntu.

Please also make sure you have the necessary build dependencies installed:

# apt build-dep openjdk-8
