After the hints from David (thanks!) we restarted the building of openjdk8u212-b03 the correct way with
Get the latest required software: 1. latest OpenJDK release source (aktually openjdk8u212-b03.tar.gz) 2. Solaris' Studio version 12.3 (note 12.6 will not work) 3. the JT regression test tool jtreg-4.2-b14.tar.gz $ uname -a SunOS srap06dsR1 5.10 Generic_150400-35 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise $ cd jdk8u212-b03 $ LDFLAGS='-L/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9' \ FREETYPE_LIBS='-L/usr/sfw/lib/sparcv9' \ bash ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/sisis-pap/openjdk8 \ --with-cups-include=/export/home/guru/v50/CUPS2/cups-2.0.3 $ /usr/sfw/bin/gmake all I tried to use the JT regression test tool jtreg-4.2-b14.tar.gz the following way (as explained in its docs: http://openjdk.java.net/jtreg/runtests.html $ export JT_HOME=/export/home/sisis/guru/jtreg $ export JT_JAVA=/usr/local/sisis-pap/jdk1.8.0_31/bin/java $ export PRODUCT_HOME=/export/home/sisis/guru/jdk8u212-b03/build/solaris-sparcv9-normal-server-release/images/j2sdk-image (btw: The script has a bug: the shebang must be modified to '/usr/bin/bash') $ cd test $ nohup /usr/sfw/bin/gmake all But nearly all tests are failing: TEST RESULT: Error.

What are the time outs? What do I wrong? The full nuhup.out log is here: http://www.unixarea.de/openjdk-test-nohup.txt The built JDK itself works fine with our software. Any ideas why the test suite is failing? Thanks matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub
