Hi David,
According to the SCCS history, the ALT_OPENWIN_HOME has been introduced
with CR 2154143 (which is a 6u10 SubCR of 6613871). The CR is marked as
delivered to 7b65 as well, however the ALT_OPENWIN_HOME changes in
make/common/shared/Defs-linux.gmk have been lost for some reason.

Thanks Chris. I had just this minute come to the realization that the
JDK6 code is the code that changed, while JDK7 has the original code.
Those CRs are somewhat lacking in detail, but cross-compilation is

I'm working on the SE-Embedded merge with JDK7,

Looking at the history of Defs-linux.gmk you can see that
(ALT_)OPENWIN_HOME was added for CR 2154143, in JDK6u10. This CR is also

It used to be in JDK6 that you could use ALT_OPENWIN_HOME to override
the default OPENWIN_HOME settings in the makefiles for the j2se

override OPENWIN_HOME =/usr/X11R6/
Can someone tell me why this change
