Description Christoph Brill (egore) (RESIGNED) 2011-09-12 20:06:23 UTC

The compilation of the hotspot compiler failes because it uses uname to determine if it will work on the target platform. Linux 3 is not allowed yet (and this approach also breaks in many situations, see http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2011/09/02/buildsystem-quirks-now-you-know-why-you-don-t-rely-on-uname for details).

The best solution is to disable the checking by calling emake (in src_compile) like this:

DISABLE_HOTSPOT_OS_VERSION_CHECK=ok emake -j 1

Reproducible: Always

Affects me too. I attached build log and emerge --info output for completeness.

Comment 4 Sven Eden 2011-09-20 13:53:04 UTC

I get this message:

*** This OS is not supported: Linux sed-notebook 3.0.4-gentoo

So the bug could be confirmed, I daresay?
