Error while building JVMCI enabled JDK8 on Power

[Deepali Patel]

Thanks Andrew and Doug for helpful responses. 

Yes correct, I needed to ask what knowledge would I need to implement the PowerPC version other than the existing samples. And now I know that it is "PowerPC HotSpot port". Thanks Andrew. 
Would it be possible to point to any links or documentation on Hotspot Porting? 

On another note I observed the following on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HotSpot 

	"Porting HotSpot is difficult because the code, while written in mostly C++, contains much assembly language.[17] To remedy this, the IcedTea project has developed a generic port of the HotSpot 	interpreter called zero-assembler Hotspot (or zero), with almost no assembly code. This port is intended for easy adaptation of the interpreter component of HotSpot to any Linux processor architecture. 	The code of zero-assembler Hotspot is used for all the non-x86 architecture ports of HotSpot (PowerPC, Itanium (IA-64), S390 and ARM) since version 1.6"

So do you think that zero-assembler could be helpful in my case. Please advise. 

Regards
Deepali

You have to write it.  There are examples for x86 and AArch64.  You need to make a PowerPC version.  What other kinds of help do you need?
Perhaps it's not obvious, but to port JVMCI you'll need a detailed knowledge of the PowerPC HotSpot port.

Andrew.
