Is anyone using msys to build OpenJDK?

[Andrew Luo]

From the source history, it appears that with JDK9 we dropped support for msys:

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/rev/2a2e56f4c03b

This was committed about 1.5 years ago - are you suggesting that perhaps we added support for msys2 later on (perhaps unofficial or undocumented)?

Thanks,

-Andrew

Subject: Is anyone using msys to build OpenJDK?

If anyone is currently using msys to build OpenJDK, I'm curious to know what version so I can replicate that environment.

As we are trying to add WSL support, we are touching all sorts of places in configure, and there is a big risk that we break the existing msys support. I would like to be able to setup an environment so I can at least do basic verification of such changes.

I know we initially set this up for msys, but later I tried msys2, which seemed a lot more modern and easy to use. I do remember there were several options on how to setup it up exactly though.
