Hi everyone, I'm just wondering if OpenJDK could be modified to build on Windows using MSYS2 (free Windows development environment that includes MinGW-w64 and GCC). Currently MSYS2's MinGW-w64 toolchain (including GCC) is unsupported for building OpenJDK, and Visual Studio is required; however, on Linux, GCC is supported. Would there be any implications to such a method? If not, I would be very pleased. MSYS2 uses PKGBUILDs similar to the ones on Arch Linux. Adding a MinGW-w64 PKGBUILD for mingw-w64-jdk*version*-openjdk would be very beneficial to the MSYS2 project.
Thanks, Andrew Sun
