12:55 <sphalerite> Is rustc failing to build for anyone else on ARMv7?

12:55 <sphalerite> it complains about sources being modified or something

13:52 <Dezgeg> I guess it needs dontUpdateAutotoolsGnuConfigScripts

16:55 <timokau[m]> Has anyone tried building `openjdk-10` on aarch64? The architecture should be supported since jdk9.

16:55 <timokau[m]> Unfortunately I don't have aarch64 hardware so I can't try myself.

16:56 <timokau[m]> See http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/237

16:57 <Dezgeg> IIRC, we don't have the bootstrap binaries for java on anywhere but x86

16:57 <samueldr> I believe it was andi- who looked at this late last year

16:57 <samueldr> https://logs.nix.samueldr.com/nixos-aarch64/search?q=jdk

16:59 <Dezgeg> maybe we could start by grabbing them from https://adoptopenjdk.net/archive.html

17:01 <samueldr> looking at archive.org, up until at least february this year there was a warning banner to not use this for production uses (the site is quite new)

17:02 <samueldr> may explain why it wasn't used

17:03 <samueldr> even up to june

17:16 <andi-> yes, I looked into that last year.. Wasn't a great experience. Most of the time I spent trying to get past the bootstrapping stage. I tried several methods: Using GCJ (now discontinued) to build an older jdk5/6 to be able to build a proper jdk6/7 out of that (all usinx nix). Then tried yet an alternative java thingy.. In the end I started using the debian aarch64 pacakages as a bootstrap phase to

17:16 <andi-> encounter strange issues in jdk6/7 where they would assume amd64 as soon as the platform was 64bit even thought they officiall support aarch64. After about 3 weeks of on and off trying I finally gave up...

17:16 <andi-> I originally wanted to run Kodi (which only needs a bit of Java...) on a Rpi3..

17:17 <andi-> The RPi3 I used to compile off (with the community build machine) still is on and does wait for me to continue but no motivation after that java experience...

21:36 <timokau[m]> Ah o kay, thanks for your efforts andi-

21:37 <timokau[m]> How do the openjdk developers themselves bootstrap then?

21:39 <andi-> I have no serious idea. I had back then :/

21:40 <andi-> I guess they might just have an oder / cross compiled version. With the state of the build system I somehow doubt cross compilation but who knows.. If you do it full time every day you might know everything that is required...
