Hello all; This is a fix for an annoying little bug. Currently ABS_TEST_OUTPUT_DIR in test/Makefile is defined relative to a test root of it's choosing rather than in terms of the TEST_OUTPUT_DIR variable. Because ABS_TEST_OUTPUT_DIR definition also includes necessary creation of the target directory and conversion to cygpath it's not feasible to just override ABS_TEST_OUTPUT_DIR the way it is to override TEST_OUTPUT_DIR. ie. make TEST_OUTPUT_DIR=foo
This patch defines ABS_TEST_OUTPUT_DIR using TEST_OUTPUT_DIR's definition which makes it easier to override the output location. This fix will allow the changes which were part of JDK-8023491 to control the output location to be reattempted. http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mduigou/JDK-8024842/0/webrev/ Thanks, Mike
