OpenJDK for PowerPC64

[Curtis Hamilton]

I forgot to mentioned this in my notes.  GCJ is equivalent to JDK5 (java
1.5), however both JDK6 and JDK7 are hard coded to require 1.6 .  You'll
need to make the following edits:

OPENJDK6:  jdk/make/common/shared/Platform.gmk (line 91)
OpenJDK7:  jdk/make/common/shared/Defs-versions.gmk (line 222)

Just change the version from 1.6 to 1.5.

Thanks!

I missed the step to build classpath, what a nice project at that time ;)

But next, what do I have to build?
How is the sequence to 'bootstrap' openjdk? I'm a newbie in this regard.

I get this when I do a make in java/openjdk7 (with patched Makefile from a
previous post)

ERROR: Your BOOTDIR environment variable does not point \n       to a 
valid JDK for bootstrapping this build. \n       A JDK 7  build must be 
bootstrapped using  \n       JDK 1.6. fcs (or later). \n 
Apparently, your bootstrap JDK is version 1.5.0 \n       Please update 
your ALT_BOOTDIR setting and start your build again. \n


This is with openjdk7. The same happens with openjdk6.

my compiler chain is gcc-6.0.

I think a few things are missing here.
