I have accumulated a confusing number of jdk's, to the extent that I

to straighten these out before I ask about my failure building
LibreOffice Viewer.
My build for Linux has been working with
--with-jdk-home=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java
which points to
java-1.11.0-openjdk-amd64
which I believe simply comes with debian buster.
An early attempt to build Viewer for Android required a 32-bit jdk, so
I installed debian package
openjdk-11-jdk:i386
Places on my system with bin/java which configure has accepted without
explicit error message as values for --with-jdk-home are
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-i386
/usr/local/android-studio/jre
Advice welcome.
You appear to wonder whether you should be able to point --with-jdk-home
to a 32-bit Java installation for a 64-bit LO build (on Linux). No. At
least some tests run during the LO build would want to load libjvm.so
from the specified --with-jdk-home (propagated via JAVA_HOME environment
variable and UNO_JAVA_JFW_ENV_JREHOME bootstrap variable) into a 64-bit
process, and fail.
I guess configure.ac doesn't check that a Java installation specified
via --with-jdk-home matches the bitness of the LO build. If that's the
case, feel free to improve that if you see a need for it.
