Hi
Apologize if this is not the right place to ask.
I want to try OpenJDK8 on Armv7. Is there a guideline on how to cross compile
OpenJDK8 for Armv7? And if not, could someone share some experiences? I went
through the README-builds.html and did not find any clues for cross compiling.
The only OpenJDK build for ARM would be a ZERO build. But I don't know
how to do Zero builds - though I'm sure the Zero folk will chime in.
CC'ing zero-dev.
when I cross-compile OpenJDK 9 for ARM32 I pass the following configure
options
configure
# these options tell openjdk to do a cross compile build.
--build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
--host=arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi
--target=arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabi
# these two options enable zero
--with-jvm-interpreter=cpp
--with-jvm-variants=zero
# specific options to make the build find the X and freetype headers and
librarys found on the ARM32 root filesystem.

I have automated these configure and make options for openjdk 9 into
buildroot build scripts
https://github.com/xranby/rpi-buildroot/tree/openjdk
I've done Zero builds before but have never used OpenJDK's cross-compile
feature to build it on ARMv7. There is an Arm32 bit JIT in IcedTea[1],
but I don't know if that can be cross-compiled.
If you cross compile icedtea then you need to make sure that the
bytecode generator tool is compiled by the host x86 toolchain.
openembedded meta-java contains buildscripts that can cross compile the
Arm32 JIT found in IcedTea.
