The configure of OpenJDK overwrites the SHELL. Actually it is using
bash, but for the arguments it was using “-e -o pipefail”. I have
figured that for MSYS2 bash what is needed as bash arguments is “-e -l
-c -o pipefail”
That looks like solving this problem, and now the real issues are
surfacing.

*Subject: *RE: Building OpenJDK9 on MSYS2
Magnus,
I have followed your suggestion and removed the fixpath prefixes from
gcc related compile tools, and left only the fixpath prefix _only_ for
the Boot JDK related tools in place.
1. As I follow the process, all java and javac related compile steps
are running properly
2. When the process reaches gcc related steps I got the error message
at the same place as before (no fixpath). If I execute that
command from the bash prompt, it creates the output:
$ ( /usr/bin/gawk '/@@END_COPYRIGHT@@/{exit}1'
/C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/jdk/src/java.base/share/classes/sun/nio/ch/SocketOptionRegistry.java.template
&& /C/msys64/mingw64/bin/gcc -E -x c

/C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/support/gensrc/java.base/sun/nio/ch/SocketOptionRegistry.java
As I have mentioned the parameters are replaced by the bash automatically
3. Then build continues, then little later stops at a super simple
command:
mv
/C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/support/gensrc/java.base/java/nio/ByteBuffer.java.tmp
/C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/support/gensrc/java.base/java/nio/ByteBuffer.java
Needless to say, the ByteBuffer.java.tmp file DOES exist.
And running the above command from the bash works, and build continues.
4. A few similar cases (stops) with DirectByteBuffer and
DirectByteBufferR
Currently I try to explore how that might relate to the MSYS2 bash and
make, somehow it behaves differently
If you have any other suggestion, let me know.
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Magnus,
So first of all, here is the current patch, which I was not able to
attach: https://pastebin.com/pwT4Ynxc
>> That's surprising, since gcc is prefixed with fixpath, which it should not.
Actually you DO need fixpath IMHO.
This is a mingw64 version of the gcc (/C/msys64/mingw64/bin/gcc),
which is a fully functional Windows executable, /which expects Windows
formatted path arguments/.
As the updated build process uses EXPORT MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL=* (see
that patch), none of the command line arguments are converted from the
unix path to Windows, but fixpath does that conversion. There is a
wiki describing more details on this:
https://github.com/msys2/msys2/wiki/Porting#user-content-filesystem-namespaces
>>I have a hard time believing this is a race condition. On the other
hand, this stuff is weird, we're misusing the C preprocessor to
process defines in java code, so I'm not surprised it breaks down.
>>I don't know why it succeeded when run on the command line, though.
When I execute that command from the /bash/ command line there is no
EXPORT MSYS2_ARG_CONV_EXCL, but the bash itself does the automatic
conversion of the arguments. Maybe it has something to do how fixpath
does CreateProcess?
Does that help?
Best regards,
Peter

Hi Magnus and Erik,
I really appreciate your quick feedback. I assumed that it won’t
be easy, but I just don’t feel I should give up now - maybe later
when I see the real scale of work. So bear with me for a time being.
Attached is a patch which already includes Magnus’ changes, plus a
few which I have added:
·basically enabling gcc for windows,
·and modifying a logic for compiling fixpath (before that it was
using hard-coded MS VSC compile flags)
Actually, you must make sure fixpath is *not* used for the toolchain,
since gcc uses unix style paths.
(However, other tools such as java will still need it.)
So here is what I have as the result of configure:
====================================================
The existing configuration has been successfully updated in
/C/msys64/home/peterbud/jdk9/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release
using configure arguments '--disable-freetype-bundling
--disable-javac-server'.
Configuration summary:
* Debug level: release
* HS debug level: product
* JDK variant: normal
* JVM variants: server
* OpenJDK target: OS: windows, CPU architecture: x86, address
length: 64
* Version string: 9-internal+0-adhoc.peterbud.jdk9 (9-internal)
Tools summary:
* Environment: msys version 2.9.0(0.318/5/3) (root at /C/msys64)
* Boot JDK: java version "1.8.0_144" Java(TM) SE Runtime
Environment (build 1.8.0_144-b01) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server
VM (build 25.144-b01, mixed mode) (at /c/progra~1/java/jdk18~1.0_1)
* Toolchain: gcc (GNU Compiler Collection)
* C Compiler: Version 7.2.0 (at /C/msys64/mingw64/bin/gcc)
* C++ Compiler: Version 7.2.0 (at /c/msys64/mingw64/bin/g++)
Build performance summary:
* Cores to use: 4
* Memory limit: 16216 MB
Its clear says that the toolchain is gcc 7.2 (BTW there is no
Visual Studio on this machine)
Now for the details of the config log, you can see here:
https://pastebin.com/MN2ZYcHH
And about the build process and the error I get:

Error 1
Now the interesting is: if I copy this line above to the bash
prompt, it runs without problem, and the file
support/gensrc/java.base/sun/nio/ch/SocketOptionRegistry.java
That's surprising, since gcc is prefixed with fixpath, which it should
not.
I have a hard time believing this is a race condition. On the other
hand, this stuff is weird, we're misusing the C preprocessor to
process defines in java code, so I'm not suprised it breaks down. I
don't know why it succeeded when run on the command line, though. My
suggestion is to just do some quick and dirty hack around this: take
the file you manage to generate and just copy it in during the build
instead. If you can get round this, you might start seeing some *real*
problems. :-)
Also, my suggestion is that you try running "make hotspot" to cut to
the chase. Compiling hotspot will likely be the hardest thing. Or even
"make -k hotspot" to get an assessment of the amount of work ahead of you.
/Magnus
Is produced.
Then I can again issue
make JOBS=1 LOG=debug
And the compile process is being continued, until a similar error
pops up with a different generated file. I have an assumption that
this happens because make is still running parallel jobs, despite
JOBS=1 but I’m not sure.
How could I best tackle this?
Thank you and best regards,
Peter

I agree that it requires hard work (even if "thousands" might be an
overestimation I think, but "hundreds" is not enough, so it's the
right
magnitude). On the other hand, it would be really good if we did sort
things out, so that we had proper conditions based on OS vs
compiler/toolchain.
If you really want to start, the first thing is to patch
toolchain.m4 to
VALID_TOOLCHAINS_windows="microsoft gcc"
and then call configure using "bash configure
--with-toolchain-type=gcc".
As Erik, I doubt you will come very far before things starts
tumbling down.
