Re: Does OpenJDK statically link the C++ runtime?

2012-01-04 Thread Volker Simonis
Regarding your first question: yes, at least the HotSpot (i.e. libjvm.so) still statically links libstdc++. You can verify this by looking at make/linux/makefiles/vm.make: ifeq ($(SHARK_BUILD), true) STATIC_CXX = false else ifeq ($(ZERO_LIBARCH), ppc64) STATIC_CXX = false else STATI

I think you really need a Gnumake higher than 3.81 and I honestly can not understand how you've managed to build the whole OpenJDK with the 3.81 version of make which comes with Cygwin (because it has serious problems with drive letters in Windows path names). I've recently wrote a blog how I've c

What do you mean by "the Java classes of OpenJDK". Every subproject contains some Jaca classes, so I'm afraid it's not possible to build only all the Java classses from OpenJDK with one build target. If you are refering to the JDK Java classes you can get near that by only building the JDK target
