Hi Ramakanth, It looks like you're using IcedTea, so I'm copying in distro-pkg-dev which is the mailing list most IcedTea stuff is discussed on. It also looks like you're using Fedora 8, which is very old. I'm not saying you won't be able to do a build, but you'll likely run into problems that u

Hi all, Shark is a JIT compiler for Zero, the zero-assembler port of HotSpot. Shark uses the LLVM compiler infrastructure to compile Java methods without introducing system-specific code. Shark was integrated into HotSpot as 6976186, but there are a couple of build system tweaks required before S

Hi Olivier, OpenJDK does indeed require java to build, but that aside there is the issue that HotSpot does not support the sh4 processor. Check out IcedTea instead (http://icedtea.classpath.org/) which has a) the ability to bootstrap with gcj, and b) support for building on platforms with no HotSp

Hi Abraham, I'm currently working on getting OpenJDK built and running on PPC but unfortunately it's not simply a bootstrapping issue. For OpenJDK to build on a specific platform a fair amount of platform-specific code needs to be written. Look in hotspot/src/cpu and hotspot/src/os_cpu and you'l
