jrt file system now has /package and /modules directories

[Michael Hall]

Would it still be the case that the exploded build in the jdk directory is invalid to use?

I am having some difficulties on this again. As long as I had done this once I thought it would make sense to be most up to date by just continuing to build from source.
So I redid the command to get new source.
And tried building. At some point this told me my configuration was no longer valid and the best thing to do was something like
make reconfigure
I did that, got through the build but the ‘make install’ shows errors and the images directory ends up with only…
_the.nashorn.jar.vardeps
I did get a OS X application to boot with the ‘exploded’? build in the jdk directory but if I try listing files with the JRT filesystem to be sure I’m running a new release I get errors like…

ava.nio.file.FileSystemNotFoundException: /Users/mjh/HalfPipe/bundles/HalfPipe9/HalfPipe9.app/Contents/PlugIns/Java/Contents/Home/lib/modules/bootmodules.jimage
	at jdk.internal.jrtfs.JrtFileSystem.checkExists(JrtFileSystem.java:87)

Although I didn’t seem to have a build step fail on a compiler warning I did also try…
./configure --disable-warnings-as-errors

So what I am doing is basically…
[get updated source bash get_source.sh or whatever it is]
[confifgure]
make clean
make 
sudo make install

Sort of consistently getting…

Building target 'install' in configuration 'macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release'
Installing jdk image into /usr/local/jvm/openjdk-1.9.0-internal
and creating 0 links from /usr/local/bin into the jdk.
cp: /Users/mjh/jdk9/build/macosx-x86_64-normal-server-release/images/jdk/*: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [install] Error 1
make[2]: *** [install] Error 2

I tried searching on ] Error as also suggested and don’t think I saw any for the last build besides the ones immediately above.
