Building on Solaris

[Erik Joelsson]

Hello Andrew,

You are correct in that it "should just work". What's failing here is 
part of bootstrapping the top level makefile targets. The logic for this 
can be found in make/common/Modules.gmk. What happens there is that a 
java tool is built and then used to convert modules.xml into a list of 
module dependencies that the makefiles can interpret. The failure you 
see is in trying to build this tool. The makefile is trying to find the 
tool classes, but finds none:

Writing 0 paths to  >> /export/home/aph/hs-comp-latest/build/solaris-x86_64-normal-server-slowdebug/make-support/bt_classes_moduleslist/_the.BUILD_GENMODULESLIST_batch.tmp


Then javac fails when the @file that should contain the classes to 
compile doesn't exist.

Can you check that you have 
$(JDK_TOPDIR)/make/src/classes/build/tools/module in your source tree?
