Ben, I had the same problem. My solution was to create ~/.ant/ant.conf and put ANT_ARGS=-diagnostics in it. I don't know why this works. I posted this earlier so you can search for it in the archives. Michael On 11/6/08, Ben Evans <benjamin.john.evans@googlemail.com> wrote:

Hi,

I'm trying to follow Landon's instructions at: http://landonf.bikemonkey.org/code/java/SoyLatte_Meets_OpenJDK.20080819.html... building OpenJDK 7 on a Mac.

I'm successfully able to build it using SoyLatte, but when I try to rerun the build after having successfully installed the new j2sdk, ie self-hosting via:

CatBasket:bsd-port boxcat$ make ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/local/openjdk17-2008-11-06 ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH=/Users/boxcat/jdk-7-icedtea-plugs ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/X11R6/include ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib ALT_CUPS_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/include ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant NO_DOCS=true HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=1 ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/local/openjdk17-2008-11-06

Then I get the following output:

Can anyone see what's causing this problem? Please point me at a "How to Ask For Help" doc if one exists, or tell me what other information would be useful in diagnosing the problem.

Thanks,

I've had some continuing problems with running 'ant' on all the jdk build platforms. If you look at the langtools/make/Makefile (which just trys to run ant) you can see the gyrations it goes through itself. Initially I had assumed that setting both ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME was important, but now I think it's better to not set ANT_HOME at all, but just make sure that the 'ant' you want is in your PATH, and if ANT_HOME is set it's critical that these are one in the same (Only Windows seems to need the ANT_HOME set). I usually use a private ant 1.7.0 install of my own and have never had any problems, but when using the ant installed on the systems, that's when I had problems, which seemed to go away if I just avoided using ANT_HOME. Part of this may be due to the layout of the system ant installations, I don't know. You'll notice in the langtools/make/Makefile that it goes to great pains to make sure that 'ant' is run with ALT_BOOTDIR as it's java, and also sets JAVA_HOME and the ant property for it. So if the langtools 'ant' build is failing, it could very well be a serious problem with the jdk supplied as the ALT_BOOTDIR. Hope this helps some. -kto Ben Evans wrote:
