Hey, Stephen--
Yes, I'd thought to include Hotspot as well, since that's where most of the
C/C++ coding was happening, AFAIK. Recognizing that this will likely touch
the Hotspot code in some way, I was going to touch base with the Hotspot
team (via the hotspot-* lists) when I had a working build g

6611629: Avoid hardcoded cygwin paths for memory detection
Summary: Use free with sygwin, mem or systeminfo otherwise, to get MB_OF_MEMORY

Excellent points Steve. And good summary.
The hotspot nmake Makefiles are tied to the MS Visual Studio (VC) compilers,
and I'm pretty sure nmake.exe is now only delivered with the VC product.
It's not clear how you can match this build performance.
However, it's also not clear how much of this be

Ted, I'm sorry my posting wasn't as helpful as I hoped.

Beyond just getting it to build, to Hotspot uses a fair amount of
machine code internally, which would have to be retargeted to the SuperH
ISA to get it to run. IcedTea helps, but my understanding is that there
would still be probably a few months of work required to support a new CPU.

Hi Ted,
Congratulations on getting accepted. Are you planning to include the
Hotspot repository in this project? Some time ago, I was involved with
a similar effort to build Hotspot under Visual C++ 2005 Express, so I'm
familiar with some of this. Most of the immediate build issues were

Hi Olivier,
OpenJDK does indeed require java to build, but that aside there
is the issue that HotSpot does not support the sh4 processor.
Check out IcedTea instead (http://icedtea.classpath.org/) which
has a) the ability to bootstrap with gcj, and b) support for
building on platforms with no HotSp

OK, after pulling the latest bits down from Mercurial, I did a top-level
fastdebug build. Tried running it, it falls over with the same hotspot-crash
error as before. Thinking that maybe this is just a fastdebug-related
problem, I did a top-level product build, and got the same problem.
