changeset in /hg/icedtea6: 2008-03-17 Gary Benson...

[Gary Benson]

Hi all,

The changeset I just committed to icedtea6 is the hotspot part of the
universal build system I've been talking about lately.  It builds on
ppc and ppc64; it _should_ build on x86_64 (with --enable-zero), s390,
s390x and ia64, and anything else fairly regular (alpha? mips?); and
it might even build on arm.

Note that I haven't extended this universality into the class library
yet, mainly for fear of trampling over the cacao stuff, so there's
still a couple of bits of icedtea-ports.patch remaining.  If you do
want to try it on something new then it's fairly simple: create the
ergo file and jvm.cfg for your platform in ports/jdk/src/solaris/bin
(they are all just copies of each other) and patch the remaining
couple of files in icedtea-ports.patch.  I hope to fix this Soon.

Cheers,
Gary
