building individual test issue

[Mykhaylo Lodygin]

Hello colleagues,

I've build JDK locally successfully, but got several tests "FAILED".

Tried to run one of the failing test separately with "make test TEST="<path_to_test>".

Were unable to do so due to build error - the compiler was unfamiliar to include path to winscard.h, fixed with configuration option:

bash configure --with-extra-cflags="-I/usr/include/PCSC"

next error was incapability of  linker to link with libjpeg - fixed with

adding --with-libjpeg=system to configure.

the issue was solved,  but a new one was added with missing libgif.

I was curious and tried a test that "Passed", thinking that "failure" could had happen due to inability to build the test. Tried sun/util/calendar/zi/Beyond2037.java but got a very similar error of inability to link with liblcms2-2.

I'm flabbergasted, hence my questions are: does "make test" target is expected to rebuild JDK's code? does my approach of adding options to configure script is proper one? How come a test could be "Passed" while running it separately results in inability to build the test?

Thank you.

Hi,

Debian/Ubuntu version applies some patches to the source tree, so if
you are trying to build OpenJDK package using make command directly,
you might want to run `quilt push -a` and configure using `configure`
arguments from `debian/rules`, e.g. --with-pcsclite=system, because
psclite is stripped from the original tarball.

Best Regards,
Vladimir.
