[Newbie question] Strange errors trying to build the JDK

[Ioi Lam]

Looks like it's this command that failed:


cd 
/home/zambonifofex/jdk/build/linux-x86_64-normal-server-release/hotspot/variant-server/libjvm/objs 
&& \
   /usr/bin/nm --defined-only *.o | /usr/bin/nawk '{ if ($3 ~ 
/^_ZTV|^gHotSpotVM|^UseSharedSpaces$|^_ZN9Arguments17SharedArchivePathE$/) 
print $3; }' | /usr/bin/sort -u


Try cut-and-paste that into a terminal and see what error it reports,

Thanks

- Ioi
