Build avian failed with openjdk-7-7u111-2.6.7

[luwein...@gmail.com]

I tried to build avian with openjdk. I have tried both the 2 approaches but meet some problems.

1. make openjdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386

When I try to execute a test: ./avian-dynamic -cp test Hello

It reports the error:

java/lang/UnsatisfiedLinkError: sun/misc/Unsafe.isBigEndian0()Z

  at sun/misc/Unsafe.isBigEndian0 (native)

  at sun/misc/Unsafe.<clinit> (line 651)

  at java/security/ProtectionDomain.<clinit> (line 118)

  at java/lang/ClassLoader.<init> (line 255)

  at java/lang/ClassLoader.<init> (line 317)

2. make openjdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-i386 openjdk-src=/home/agent/work/avian/openjdk-7-7u111-2.6.7/build/openjdk/jdk/src

Is this a known issue? Is the openjdk version(openjdk-7-7u111-2.6.7) supported by avian?

Thanks,

Hi Weining,

Thanks for reporting these issues. Oracle sometimes adds new
functions to the classpath<->JVM interface when it makes new releases
of the JDK/JRE. It looks like we need to update Avian to match the
latest ones. I'll do that this weekend when I have time. Meanwhile,
if you're in a hurry, you might want to try an older OpenJDK release
(e.g. 7u80).

Dice, thanks for your reply.

It sounds right. I think I'm using an old version of avain(1.2.0). Then I tried to clone the latest avian repo from https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian.git (should be 1.3.0), the build error disappears, but still get runtime error when run java app.

agent@agent-VirtualBox:~/work/avian/avian/build/linux-i386-openjdk-src (master)$ ./avian -cp test Hello

I suppose this may be fixed after your update. Thanks for your time.

This should fix the UnsatisfiedLinkError:

https://github.com/ReadyTalk/avian/pull/510

Let me know if you have any other issues.

Thanks for your help, Dice. Just confirmed that the issue I posted is fixed.
