This patch makes it possible to build GNU Classpath using javac from OpenJDK 1.7 and 1.8. - From the javac docs: "Classes found through the classpath are subject to automatic recompilation if their sources are found." javac from OpenJDK 1.7+ will try (and fail) to recompile "standard" Java classes (e.g. java/lang/Object.java) when compiling the Java test class. Fix this by explicitly passing an empty -sourcepath. - Test for 1.6 instead of 1.5, as -source/-target 1.5 is deprecated in Java 8, and the Makefiles already use -source/-target 1.6 anyway. --- m4/ac_prog_java_works.m4 | 3 ++- m4/ac_prog_javac_works.m4 | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/m4/ac_prog_java_works.m4 b/m4/ac_prog_java_works.m4 index d3f2744..f36318b 100644 --- a/m4/ac_prog_java_works.m4 +++ b/m4/ac_prog_java_works.m4 @@ -62,7 +62,8 @@ EOF changequote([, ])dnl if test x$ac_cv_prog_uudecode_base64 != xyes; then AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_JAVAC_WORKS]) - if AC_TRY_COMMAND($JAVAC $JAVACFLAGS $JAVA_TEST) && test -s $CLASS_TEST; then + CMD="$JAVAC $JAVACFLAGS -sourcepath '' $JAVA_TEST" + if AC_TRY_COMMAND($CMD) && test -s $CLASS_TEST; then : else echo "configure: failed program was:" >&AC_FD_CC diff --git a/m4/ac_prog_javac_works.m4 b/m4/ac_prog_javac_works.m4 index 7fb298d..fbe24ce 100644 --- a/m4/ac_prog_javac_works.m4 +++ b/m4/ac_prog_javac_works.m4 @@ -33,9 +33,9 @@ public class Object } EOF if test x$JAVAC_IS_GCJ = xyes; then - CMD="$JAVAC $JAVACFLAGS -fsource=1.5 -ftarget=1.5 $JAVA_TEST" + CMD="$JAVAC $JAVACFLAGS -fsource=1.6 -ftarget=1.6 $JAVA_TEST" else - CMD="$JAVAC $JAVACFLAGS -source 1.5 -target 1.5 $JAVA_TEST" + CMD="$JAVAC $JAVACFLAGS -sourcepath '' -source 1.6 -target 1.6 $JAVA_TEST" fi if AC_TRY_COMMAND($CMD) >/dev/null 2>&1; then ac_cv_prog_javac_works=yes -- 1.9.1
