Hello, I wanted to try the hsdis build (on Linux x86_64) . After no success my system binutils, I downloaded the sources and used these configure options :
--with-hsdis=binutils --with-binutils-src=/mydir/binutils/binutils-2.42.90 The configure part does not complain, and seems the binutils are built. But no hsdis shared lib shows up after the jdk build is over. Then I found the --enable-hsdis-bundling configure flag and when adding it, the hsdis build seems to work, the file ./images/jdk/lib/hsdis-amd64.so is present after the build. Should we maybe check for --enable-hsdis-bundling or warn/fail in case it is not set together with the --with-hsdis ? Another issue on my SUSE Linux box was that libopcodes.a was not detected correctly when using a pre-built binutils dir. The folder lib was taking but this one was in lib64 . Best regards, Matthias
