Hi list,
As you may know, when building OpenJDK, you need OpenJDK, and this bootstrap
problem is solved by providing a java binary on anduin.
So far, we have always provided a 64 bit and a 32 bit binary. But more and
more people have 64 bit machines, and I myself do not maintain anymore 32 bit
(virtual) machines. So, generating a 32 bit binary would involve building a
complete LFS-7.10 system + all dependencies for OpenJDK, and then build
OpenJDK itself. It is a lot of (wasted, IMHO) time.
So would it be OK if we provided only a 64 bit java binary? Note that a java
binary can always be obtained from Oracle's site...
Yes, that sounds OK. Just add a note about 32-bit support.
I am in the process of fixing my 32-bit system. The power supply died.
I'm not sure why I'm fixing it, but I'll have it for some testing next week.
