Snow Leopard HotSpot Build Failure (Intel)

[John Yeary]

Hello Everyone,

I have tried to get OpenJDK 7 to build on my MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard
(10.6.4). I seem to get further along with items I glean from the mailing
list archives, and Google searches. The current show stopper is in
c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp.

/Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp:
In member function 'int LIR_Assembler::emit_unwind_handler()':
/Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp:472:
error: call of overloaded 'movptr(Address, int32_t)' is ambiguous
/Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/assembler_x86.hpp:2192:

/Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/assembler_x86.hpp:2194:
note:                 void MacroAssembler::movptr(Address, RegisterImpl*)
/Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp:473:
error: call of overloaded 'movptr(Address, int32_t)' is ambiguous
/Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/assembler_x86.hpp:2192:

It is indicating that the method call is ambiguous. I tried altering the
code, but it had no effect. I am wondering if this is a bug that should be
reported. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.

The other item I had noted from Jeff Sinclair's blog (
http://www.cooljeff.co.uk/tag/openjdk/ ) was that the gcc.make file needs to
have *WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS = -Werror*  line commented out. This allowed the
program to compile to this point.

Here is my build.sh

#!/bin/bash
unset CLASSPATH
unset JAVA_HOME
env \-i PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin \
 CC=gcc-4.2 \
 CXX=g++-4.2 \
 LANG=C \
 make \
 ALT_BOOTDIR=/usr/local/soylatte16-i386-1.0.3/ \
 ALT_FREETYPE_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/X11R6/include \
 ALT_FREETYPE_LIB_PATH=/usr/X11R6/lib \
 ALT_CUPS_HEADERS_PATH=/usr/include \
 ALLOW_DOWNLOADS=true \
 ANT_HOME=/usr/share/ant \
 NO_DOCS=true \
 HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS=1

neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in the gray twilight
that knows not victory nor defeat."
