Problem building OpenJDK on a set-top box

[Ted Neward]

As the build docs state, you need a working version of Java in order to
build the JDK--this is called "bootstrapping".

There was some traffic on this list a few days ago about doing exactly the
same thing, and some of the discussion there suggested using IcedTea to do
the build, since (apparently) it can be built without processor-specific
dependencies (IIRC). Might check the archives here for those links.

> Hello,

> I'm currently trying to get java working on a set-top box (chipset-

> The main problem actually is that when I try to make from the

> directory, I get an error saying that ant can't find java, and ant
> seems to
> be needed for a successful compilation.
> It's the same thing with findbugs...
> So I'm kind of stuck in a bad loop, ant needs java, java needs ant...
> 
> Has anyone tried to get OpenJDK working on a STB?
> Advices and help needed!
