Hotspot - kind of build and how to detect?

[Mani Sarkar]

Hi David,

Thanks for coming back with a response. My apologies for not being very
clear on what I'm trying to achieve here.

Basically my goal is to be able to populate an environment variable in any
OS say in linux, that gives me the location of the any artefact under the
build folder. For our case I'll select Hotspot, which would look like the
below:

export
HOTSPOT_BINARY_LOC=$TL_FOREST_FOLDER/build/$OPENJDK_RELEASE_NAME/hotspot/$OS_PLATFORM_COMPILER_FOLDER/$BUILD_TYPE

As you can see we have a number of variables here, I have the value of the
first one, i.e. $TL_FOREST_FOLDER, how do I determine the values for the
four other parts of the path

$OPENJDK_RELEASE_NAME
$OS_PLATFORM_COMPILER_FOLDER
$BUILD_TYPE

In my case a typical build path looks like

/home/openjdk/sources/jdk8_tl/build/*linux-x86_64-normal-server-release*
/hotspot/*linux_amd64_compiler2*/*product*/

So I have three variables which I would like to determine after running
configure but before building any project using the make command.

Does this make it any clearer? Basically I wish to access the environment
variables you create (if it works that way) after the configure command.

Thanks.

Cheers,
Mani
