Compiling bazel on Cray xc-50

[david....@gmail.com]

I am trying to compile bazel on a Cray xc-50. From source using the bazel-0.9.0-dist.zip file

I got this error:

javac: invalid source release: jdk1.8.0_51
Usage: javac <options> <source files>
use -help for a list of possible options

If I look at the version of java and javac both are: 1.8.0_51.
daverio@daint104:~/installs/bazel> java -version
java version "1.8.0_51"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_51-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.51-b03, mixed mode)
daverio@daint104:~/installs/bazel> javac -version
javac 1.8.0_51

Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

export JAVA_VERSION=1.8 fixes this for me! Good luck :-)
