FTBFS in precise

[Michael Terry]

netbeans is FTBFS in precise.

There are two issues as I see them. One is that mingw32 does not understand -Wl,z,relro. This can be fixed by setting a stripped or empty LDFLAGS when running "make" for the windows launcher.

The second issue is more complicated. In osgi-core 4.3.0, org.osgi.framework.launch.FrameworkFactory.newFramework changed from accepting any old Map to specifically a Map<String, String>.

In netbeans, core.netigso/src/org/netbeans/core/netigso/Netigso.java passes in a Map<String, Object>. Which stops compilation.

I've forwarded this to Debian, which should have the same problem with osgi.

Did you get any further with this? I've started looking at the issue in Debian.

For the windows launcher builds I'm going to update the build lines to the following:
cd o.n.bootstrap/launcher/windows && LDFLAGS="" make .build-impl nbexec.exe
cd apisupport.harness/windows-launcher-src && LDFLAGS="" make

Can you please confirm that fixes that part of the problem in Precise?

For the osgi-core issue I think we'll need to patch in Debian, since it's not something I think we'd be able to get changed upstream.

No, I didn't get further. And I can confirm that LDFLAGS="" gets past the windows launcher problem.

OK, I've got it working now with a few more changes (patch attached). There's some other bugs I want to fix, but hopefully I'll get this uploaded to Debian in the next few days.

OK, this is all sorted in Debian now and should just need syncing.

Fixed in precise.
