Hi, I'd like to request review of this backport from 9 to 8u:
8035495: Improvements in autoconf integration JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8035495 9 changeset: URL: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/rev/6e29cd9ac2b4 User: ihse Date: 2014-02-24 12:31:07 +0000 9 review thread: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2014-February/011963.html This mostly imports to 8u, but requires some manual editing as one chunk in each of common/autoconf/autogen.sh, common/autoconf/basics.m4, and common/autoconf/configure didn't import, plus regenerating generated-configure.sh. There was a follow-on bug which I'll apply at the same time, which was: 8035825: Warn instead of fail when calling the configure wrapper directly JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8035825 9 changeset: URL: http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/rev/e7872d8abd12 User: ihse Date: 2014-02-27 08:20:50 +0000 9 review: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2014-February/011988.html This required some manual editing just for the change at the start of common/autoconf/configure. 8u webrev with them both applied: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~kevinw/8035495/webrev.00/ (8035496 is committed in there, 8035825 is not) Many thanks! Kevin
