Subject: A bug in JDK1.2 javac.sh

Hi Anand,

I sent out an email late last week regarding the problem I have in the process
building the javaos on top of jdk1.2.

The problem happened while I was trying to make the filizer.

It turned out that the problem was caused by this script

/usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/bin/sparc/green_threads/javac

If I take version 1.15 of that file then my build will continue.

I came up with a simpler scenario to reproduce the problem as follows:

set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable

arjuna<home/timsia>$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/lib/sparc/green_threads:/usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/lib/sparc:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/openwin/lib
arjuna<home/timsia>$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
arjuna<home/timsia>$ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/lib/sparc/green_threads:/usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/lib/sparc:/opt/SUNWspro/lib:/usr/openwin/lib


then run the /usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/bin/sparc/green_threads/javac

arjuna<home/timsia>$ /usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/bin/sparc/green_threads/javac
ld.so.1: /usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/bin/sparc/green_threads/java: fatal: libjvm.so: can't open file: errno=2
/usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/bin/sparc/green_threads/javac[11]: 28197 Killed


Somehow the LD_LIBRARY_PATH got munched not to include the
/usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/lib/sparc/green_threads

arjuna<home/timsia>$ ls -l /usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/lib/sparc/green_threads/libjvm.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 drumm green 674596 Oct 21 02:21 /usr/local/java/jdk1.2beta1/solaris/lib/sparc/green_threads/libjvm.so




If I use version 1.15 of javac.sh and version 1.1.1.1 of .extract_args
the javac runs all right.

Do you want me to file a bug or has there been a bug opened against jdk 1.2 javac
already ?

Thanks.

-Tim



========================
Tom,

is it really the case that 1.2 is "useless" on a sparc?

imustafa
why is this bug so critical?

It appears that for ksh users that set their LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a file which is executed every time ksh runs, the wrapper scripts won't work right, because the LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting keeps getting blown away. I think this can be fixed by passing the -p option to /bin/ksh at the beginning of all the wrapper scripts. I tested this using timsia's .files and was able to reproduce the problem and the fix also seemed to fix it. I'm not really a ksh guru so I don't know what all the ramifications are for this but it's a genuine problem.

I'm reopening this because another user reports that it happens in previous versions, i.e. 1.1.7. I was unable to verify this however.
