PPC-AIX Port to FreeBSD PowerPC Support

[Curtis Hamilton]

Hello,

I’d like to know if there’s been any work done to support PPC for *BSD?

I’ve hacked both the AIX and Linux PPC headers but have been unsuccessful in building HotSpot.  All modules seem to build with the exception of VMStructs.cpp with the below error.

/usr/ports/tmp/jdk7u/hotspot/src/share/vm/runtime/vmStructs.cpp: In static member function 'static void VMStructs::init()': 
/usr/ports/tmp/jdk7u/hotspot/src/share/vm/runtime/vmStructs.cpp:3015: error: cannot convert 'pthread**' to 'pid_t*' in initialization 

Build log is attached.

Thanks in advance!

 

Curtis
