Build error on Linux PPC64 platform

[Volker Simonis]

Hi Jonathan,

that's strange. We speciall set the 'rmic' compiler to

RMIC='$(ALT_BOOTDIR)/bin/java -cp $(ALT_BOOTDIR)/lib/tools.jar
sun.rmi.rmic.Main'

in order to use the original, Oracle version of the compiler which
should understand this option.

Could you try the following on the command line (with your JDK version):

/sapmnt/depot/tools/gen/linuxppc64/licenseware/jse/1.7.0/bin/java
-showversion -cp
/sapmnt/depot/tools/gen/linuxppc64/licenseware/jse/1.7.0/lib/tools.jar
sun.rmi.rmic.Main -d /tmp/rmic_output/ -iiop -v1.2 -standardPackage
-verbose javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl
java version "1.7.0"

Perhaps you have another version of IBMSDK and/or tools.jar?

By the way, while analysing your problem I just realized that our
current solution to set RMIC='$(ALT_BOOTDIR)/bin/java -cp
$(ALT_BOOTDIR)/lib/tools.jar sun.rmi.rmic.Main' isn't perfect, because
as you can see in the above output, not only 'sun.rmi.rmic.Main' is
resolved from 'tools.jar' but also the class
'javax.management.remote.rmi.RMIConnectionImpl' for which we we want
to create the RMI interfaces. But this class should be resolved from
the newly build JDK instead. I first thought I'll have to fix it but
on the other hand the problem will disappear once we can bootstrap
with our VM.

Regards,
Volker
