    Hi Max and John,<br>
    <br>
    Afaik, there's no support for PPC in openjdk.  Oracle has a private
    port, however,<br>
    for which the build framework exists in the open, which is why you
    can get a little<br>
    way in the build process.<br>
    <br>
    zero is a psuedo-platform which should build and run on any machine
    because it<br>
    includes a platform-independent interpreter.  It should build and
    run on PPC.<br>
    <br>

          Hi,<br>
          <br>
          I hope it's the right mailing list for my question...<br>
          <br>
          I'm trying to build opendjdk7 (bsd-port) in my PowerPC Mac. I
          downloaded a right bootstrap VM and got platform-independent
          code (corba, jaxp, jaxws etc) successfully compiled.<br>
          <br>
          Unfortunately I cannot compile hotspot VM because of the
          following error:<br>
          <br>
          g++-4.0 -D_ALLBSD_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -DCC_INTERP -DZERO

          <br>
          The missing source is there but the complation script seems to
          be unable to locate it.<br>
          Moreover, I found out that the platform-specific code (PPC in
          my case) is NOT there! The directory<br>
          <br>
          /Users/maxim/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu<br>
          <br>
          doesn't contain any PPC-related code but only those for sparc,
          x86 and zero. I have no idea what the latter means though...<br>
          <br>
          My Question: Is PPC arch deprecated meanwhile? If not, what's
          the reason to strip it out from the distribution?<br>
          <br>
          Is there any possibility to obtain the PPC code for that VM?<br>
          <br>
          Any help would be highly appreciated. I'm about to contribute
          to a open-source project related on Java 1.6 but I cannot run
          that software because Apple discontinued PPC macs, their
          support and Java development for PPC. So openjdk is my only
          way to proceed...<br>
          <br>
          Info on system I use:<br>
          <br>
          Processor: PowerPC G5 2.1 GHz<br>
          System: Mac OS X 10.5.8<br>
          <br>
