[CentOS-devel] CentOS 6 on ppc64 - OpenJDK

Hi folks,

we are currently "porting" an application to Linux on Power. As our application is java-based, this would be very easy. We already have packaging for CentOS 6.x (x86_64), which is of course also suitable for RHEL 6.x.

Since there is no released CentOS PPC port yet, we are currently working on RHEL6.5 ppc64, however this lacks OpenJDK-7 packages (java-1.7.0-openjdk, compared to i386/x86_64). Building java-1.7.0-openjdk from Source RPM with a tweaked spec file does not work quickly as there are also lots of missing required build packages on ppc64.

Does anyone have a proper bootstrap build chain to successfully build the OpenJDK-7 package (java-1.7.0-openjdk). Or does anyone have already build ppc64 packges?

Thanks in advance, Kai.
