#28218: openjdk6 @b20 build error on ppc ------------------------------------------+----------------------- Reporter: gkatze@… | Owner: landonf@… Type: defect | Status: closed Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Resolution: wontfix | Keywords: Port: openjdk6_bootstrap openjdk6 | ------------------------------------------+----------------------- Comment (by dougmencken@…):
Yes, Zero VM can be used to produce a PPC port, but there is no upstream support for it. I provided some PPC binaries based on zero some time ago; getting this working again would be a sizable effort.
So you don't want to work on it and marked this issue as "won't fix" :(
You're free to, but you're unlikely to find any significant interest unless you're ready to do the porting work, and even then, you'll have more luck with the BSD porting team than the Apple team, as the Mac OS X port (which is based on the BSD port) relies on features added in later OS X releases than are available for PPC.
As I understand, making something more portable does mean making it more portable. Regardless any marketing, Apple CPU changing etc. I contacted OpenJDK team.
JamVM is not a compliant Java(TM) implementation, isn't based on OpenJDK, and you'll run into issues trying to run most complex Java software.
JamVM from MacPorts is stuck with failing GNU Classpath, my ticket: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/37219 -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28218#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
