Hello Everyone, I have tried to get OpenJDK 7 to build on my MacBook Pro on Snow Leopard (10.6.4). I seem to get further along with items I glean from the mailing list archives, and Google searches. The current show stopper is in c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp.
/Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp: In member function 'int LIR_Assembler::emit_unwind_handler()': /Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp:472: error: call of overloaded 'movptr(Address, int32_t)' is ambiguous /Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/assembler_x86.hpp:2192: note: candidates are: void MacroAssembler::movptr(Address, intptr_t) /Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/assembler_x86.hpp:2194: note: void MacroAssembler::movptr(Address, RegisterImpl*) /Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/c1_LIRAssembler_x86.cpp:473: error: call of overloaded 'movptr(Address, int32_t)' is ambiguous /Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/assembler_x86.hpp:2192: note: candidates are: void MacroAssembler::movptr(Address, intptr_t) /Users/jyeary/Downloads/bsd-port/hotspot/src/cpu/x86/vm/assembler_x86.hpp:2194: note: void MacroAssembler::movptr(Address, RegisterImpl*) It is indicating that the method call is ambiguous. I tried altering the code, but it had no effect. I am wondering if this is a bug that should be reported. Please let me know if anyone has any ideas. The other item I had noted from Jeff Sinclair's blog ( http://www.cooljeff.co.uk/tag/openjdk/ ) was that the gcc.make file needs to have *WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS = -Werror* line commented out. This allowed the program to compile to this point.
