Hi, team,
below is a list of issues I faced when building macosx-port. I'd like to
hear your opinion, whether these are bugs or features, should I file new
requests in OpenJDK bugzilla (or whatever bug tracking system we decide
to use), etc.
1. On Windows I often clone jdk7/awt/jdk and build it separately from
all other OpenJDK parts (hotspot, jaxp, jaxws and corba). On Mac, I can
only build the whole forest.
2. HotSpot build creates folders named bsd_*, which is obviously a BSD
port legacy.
3. Flags to pass to make: SA_APPLE_BOOT_JAVA, ALWAYS_PASS_TEST_GAMMA,
ALLOW_DOWNLOADS - look like hacks/workarounds for some problems. For
example, test_gamma fails because it just can't find JRE to launch. I
would like to have this issues filed as bugs, so any person who would
like to contribute to the project can easily find a task to do.
Thanks,
Artem
