Morning all,
A patch from last year [1] discussed on this list adds an autoconf
fallback test for a shell builtin command using the bash command 'help
<command>' and invokes it for ulimit. It's probably not very portable
to start with but bash can be compiled specifically without the help
command by passing --disable-help-builtin to configure. guix uses this
option for it's build environment shell [4], hence openjdk fails to
configure there without a patch such as the one below.
For openjdk 14[3], is it possible to use a more portable sequence in the
BASIC_REQUIRE_BUILTIN_PROGS macro? The internet [2] suggests using
"command -v <command>" or "type <command>" for this purpose.
Although I have not tried, the same appears to apply to openjdk-15
although the macro has been moved to UTIL_REQUIRE_BUILTIN_PROGS in
make/autoconf/util.m4
Thanks for the report. I've filed this bug to track it:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8243656
I can sponsor the patch for you. Do you have the OCA signed?
Ok cheers. No on the OCA. I don't have direct access to a printer or
scanner so I will have to run around to sort it out but I have plenty of
spare time so will chase it up (assuming covid hasn't closed everything).
I can't see how this particular change includes any copyrightable
creative input but I suppose that's up to the project to decide.
Regards,
Michael
