Hi, Thanks a lot for helping.
It still does not work, this is what I did: 1.) build the entire OpenJDK including corba, ... 2.) cd jdk/make/sun/xawt 3.) export ALT_JDK_IMPORT_PATH=../../../../build/linux-i586/ 4.) make ARCH_DATA_MODEL=32 However after the X11-wrapper-classes are generated and compilation actually starts, I get tons of messages like: # Running javac: /home/ce/Programme/jdk1.7.0b25/bin/javac -J-XX:ThreadStackSize=768 -J-client -J-Xmx896m -J-Xms128m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=160m -source 1.5 -target 5 -encoding ascii -Xbootclasspath:../../../build/linux-i586/classes -sourcepath ../../../build/linux-i586/gensrc:../../../src/solaris/classes:../../../src/share/classes -d ../../../build/linux-i586/classes @../../../build/linux-i586/tmp/sun/sun.awt.X11/xawt/.classes.list ../../../src/share/classes/java/nio/charset/Charset.java:28: cannot find symbol symbol : class ByteBuffer location: package java.nio import java.nio.ByteBuffer; ......... Any idea what could be wrong? For now its not such a big problem, because the till the full build reaches the files I work on takes only about ~2min after which I simply can abort the make process. 2.) I encountered another strange problem: I tried to add another native blit-method to X11PMBlitBgLoops.c, however the JVM refuses to resolv the additional native method. These are the steps I did: 1.) Add native method to X11PMBlitLoops.c: JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_sun_java2d_x11_X11PMBlitLoops_dummy (JNIEnv *env, jobject joSelf) { printf("Hallo vom Dummy :)" ); fflush(stdout); } 2.) Add method-"handle" to java-side: public native void dummy(); 3.) Clean existing object-file and shared libraries, re-compile using make, copy libawt/libmawt to an unchanged JDK, and running with Eclipse overriding XBootclass to Eclipse's compiled classes (this allows me to develop and run in eclipse). The strange thing is, if I modify an existing function like Java_sun_java2d_x11_X11PMBlitLoops_nativeBlit the changes reflect immediatly, so the code is compiled correctly and also loaded by the JVM. Also the dummy-method is in xawt/libmawt.so: 000245c0 l F .text 00000036 Java_sun_java2d_x11_X11PMBlitLoops_dummy However, when I try to call it from the java-side I still get: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: sun.java2d.x11.X11PMBlitLoops.dummy()V at sun.java2d.x11.X11PMBlitLoops.dummy(Native Method) at sun.java2d.x11.X11PMBlitLoops.Blit(X11PMBlitLoops.java:150) The original problem I had was that I tried to create a new native function called nativeRenderBlit, just as a starting point to tinker on. The JVM always throws an UnsatisfiedLinkError, however if I rename nativeRenderBlit to nativeBlit which does already exist and rename the existing one to something else, everything works as expected (well at least my code gets called ;) ). Any idea whats going wrong here? I am totally puzzled :-/ Could the problem be that the JVM still somehow looks into rt.jar although bootclasspath is set to workspace/XRender/bin - and finds no definition of dummy() in the "old" X11PMBlitLoops contained in rt.jar?
