Status: Open
Recommended Components: comp:vm, comp:jclextensions, comp:build

[keithc-ca]

Yes, I noticed that. It's difficult to reproduce locally: twice a build seems to just get stuck (like it's waiting for input from somewhere that's never going to come). Do we need static-launcher, or should we just avoid it?

[keithc-ca]

I see the problem now; in StaticLibs.gmk LIB_FLAGS_FILES is empty and so $(CAT) $(LIB_FLAGS_FILES) will wait forever to read from stdin.

[keithc-ca]

The failure on AIX is different:

[2024-12-04T07:23:23.153Z] StaticLibs.gmk:107: *** Unsupported platform.  Stop.

[pshipton]

I don't know what static-launcher is.

[keithc-ca]

There are extra rules to build static libraries for use in producing a variant of the java launcher that statically links libjvm.a. OpenJ9 does not (currently?) produce such a static archive so all the static-* targets are not going to work. I have a small fix that seems to address this, but we should discuss whether we want to support static linking.

The problem behind the subject of this issue has been addressed; I created #20764 to discuss whether we should support static launchers with OpenJ9.
