Bug 149098 – xerces-2.7.1 build fails with USE="jikes": TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR was not found

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mark D. 2006-09-25 11:20:42 UTC]

Problem: I cannot emerge xerces with the jikes use flag enabled. Xerces compiles perfectly with the jikes use flag disabled.

# emerge xerces

   [xjavac]    644.                     throw new DOMException(DOMException.TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR, msg);
   [xjavac]                                                                 ^---------------^
   [xjavac] *** Semantic Error: No accessible field named "TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR" was found in type "org.w3c.dom.DOMException".


   [xjavac]    661.                     throw new DOMException(DOMException.TYPE_MISMATCH_ERR, msg);
   [xjavac]                                                                 ^---------------^

etc.

I have migrated to the new java setup.

# java-config-1 -L
[sun-jdk-1.4.2.12] "Sun JDK 1.4.2.12" (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.12) *
# java-config-2 -L
The following VMs are available for generation-2:
*)      Sun JDK 1.4.2.12 [sun-jdk-1.4]
2)      Sun JDK 1.5.0.08 [sun-jdk-1.5]

Can't reproduce it, I blame it on jikes' weirdness. Can you try xerces-2.7.1-r1 using jikes as gen-2 compiler to see if it fails too?

[Comment 2 Mark D. 2006-09-25 20:41:48 UTC]

Unfortunately I do not know how to tell portage to use a gen-2 compiler.

Since xerces-2.7.1-r1 is no longer in the tree I used xerces-2.7.1-r2.

Disabled jikes support in 2.7.1. Newer versions should be working. Thanks for reporting!
