Binaries for 7u55

[mskmania]

Hi guys,

Currently, in RHEL 6.5 the latest openJDK is 7u55. Our developers want to use the same version for Windows and all upper stages running on RHEL 6.

Would it be possible to get Windows binaries for 7u55?

Thanks.

Regards

Marc

Hi,

Yes, I'll build 7u55 in some days.

It is actually may be better for you to wait for 7u60 - AFAIK it should
be released next week. 7u55 is not OpenJDK release (only 7u40, 7u60 and
7u80 are), but internal Oracle release. I think that corresponding 7u55
tag in source code repository is quite solid (well tested) but 7u60 will
be better.

Also OpenJDK in RHEL is built from IcedTea sources (with linux-specific
patches) so there will be slight differences between vanilla 7u55 and
RHEL one.

Was 7u60 released formally already?

Yes, it was releases at the end of May -
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/2014-May/009224.html

And I've published unofficial binaries some time ago -

Thanks a lot. That's very useful?

Is the build using unmodified code from the source tree?

Will there be an official Windows build as well?

Thanks,

Yaron

Yes, it was built from the tip of these mercurial repositories -
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u60/

OpenJDK project does not produce official binaries and I named all my
builds as "unofficial" to emphasize that binaries are not backed by
OpenJDK project itself.

Thanks for the info.

I need to build the binaries myself for a work project from the sources.

I tried building on Windows but it seems quite complicated. 

So I created an Ubuntu EC2 instance and tried there.

First attempt failed (Got libjvm.so empty during the ld phase).

Am I going the right way with this (Generating windows binaries on Ubunutu)?

Which setup are you using?

Thanks so much for the info!

No, you need windows to build windows binaries.

I am using Windows instances in VirtualBox.

Feel free to ask if you'll have specific problems with building.

Cygwin64 builds were broken half a year ago, I am not sure about now,
but it is still safer to use Cygwin32.

OpenJDK 7 build system does not use autoconf so there is no configure
script. Just setup your environment variables (example -
https://github.com/alexkasko/openjdk-unofficial-builds/blob/58a3aee8841923d75ddf37802f6ac8c99329b540/build-windows-amd64.bat
, can be simplified) in batch file, run cygwin bash from it, and run
make from bash.
