Hello colleagues,
I've build JDK locally successfully, but got several tests "FAILED".
Tried to run one of the failing test separately with "make test
TEST="<path_to_test>".
Were unable to do so due to build error - the compiler was unfamiliar to
include path to winscard.h, fixed with configuration option:
bash configure --with-extra-cflags="-I/usr/include/PCSC"
next error was incapability of  linker to link with libjpeg - fixed with
adding --with-libjpeg=system to configure.
the issue was solved,  but a new one was added with missing libgif.
I was curious and tried a test that "Passed", thinking that "failure" could
had happen due to inability to build the test. Tried
sun/util/calendar/zi/Beyond2037.java but got a very similar error of
inability to link with liblcms2-2.
I'm flabbergasted, hence my questions are: does "make test" target is
expected to rebuild JDK's code? does my approach of adding options to
configure script is proper one? How come a test could be "Passed" while
running it separately results in inability to build the test?
Thank you.
