[aarch64-port-dev ] failed to build JDK9

[Edward Nevill]

Hi,

I can successfully build jdk9 on ubuntu 14.04.

You may like to try initially building openjdk-7 as follows to ensure all
the dependancies are correct for openjdk-7.

apt-get source openjdk-7-jdk
cd openjdk-7-7u51-2.4.6 (name may vary slightly)
dpkg-buildpackage 2>&1 | tee ../log

If any dependancies are missing this will tell you exactly what packages to
install.

Once the dependancies are correct for openjdk-7 then you can retry jdk9.

Note that in order to build jdk9 you will need to have jdk8 installed.

You can download a pre-built binary from http://openjdk.linaro.org (follow
the releases tab).

All the best,
Edward Nevill
