<thefloweringash> I was curious if nixpkgs chromium would build on armv7l-linux, and immediately tripped over openjdk not supporting the platform.

<{^_^}> #65247 (by lopsided98, 7 minutes ago, open): openjdk: enable bootstrapping on ARM
<lopsided98> Better OpenJDK on ARM: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/65247

<sphalerite> well, openjdk hasn't supported aarch64 forever
<THFKA4> this is really strange, somehow openjdk gets pulled in. wondering if line 31 should be using stdenv/linux instead of stdenv/generic

<andi-> And even then openjdk wouldn't properly compile on the platform.. Confusing 64bit architectures with x86-64

<timokau[m]> How do the openjdk developers themselves bootstrap then?
<timokau[m]> Has anyone tried building `openjdk-10` on aarch64? The architecture should be supported since jdk9.

<andi-> Great. Probably because the entire build system is not a complete clusterfuckup like with openjdk
<andi-> Mic92: it is a lot saner if you plan to compile openjdk... Has its own issues.. May next attempt will be icedtea + the Debian basted bootstrap to create a bootstrap for us...
<andi-> Mic92: everyone patches openjdk. Ever heard of icedtea? That's a patch collection for openjdk m(

<andi-> Dezgeg: fun fact, I did come across that while porting openjdk bootstrap foo which is also pre-compiled for aarch64 ;-)

<vcunat> (openjdk, I mean)

<andi-> shifted my focus from getting openjdk to work to building kodi with gcj instead.. seems more reasonable.. (for now) Java is depressing as hell

2017-12-23

<andi-> on the bright side: we might actually be able to bootstrap all supported (as in openjdk supported) architectures then...
* andi- has almost succeeded building a java version that can build a java version that can build openjdk... m(

<andi-> so long xmas vacation ahead.. what was I trying to do? Oh yes, I wanted music at home again thats whay I started the whole aarch64 journey -.- Time to work on openjdk

2017-12-19

<andi-> openjdk (╯°□°)╯︵┻━┻ ... gcj ships a java 1.5 compatible version .. 1.8 requiers 1.6 or 1.7... guess I'll have to add another bootstrap stage to avoid binary blobs m(

2017-12-18

<andi-> started building openjdk with gcj again... 4 cores busy with unionfs m(

2017-12-14

<andi-> in the openjdk folder
<sphalerite> Yeah I ran into that when I started trying to get openjdk on armv7
<andi-> packaging openjdk requires an alreayd compiled (open)jdk... well this will be "fun" of sorts. The current openjdk build depends on some obscure binary packages that are downloaded from dropbox.com..

2017-12-13

<andi-> started out enabling kodi... expected much.. now it starts getting openjdk working
