Dear Maintainer, Sorry for confusing initial report. I'm copying the original message bellow and attaching the debdiff for review again.
Currently gettext FTBFS when building with openjdk-9 due to: cp: cannot stat 'debian/tmp/usr/share/gettext/libintl.jar': No such file or directory which in turn is caused by a configure failing to detect openjdk: checking for Java virtual machine... java configure: WARNING: unknown target-version 9, please update gt_JAVACOMP macro checking for Java compiler... no For comparison, the above message, when compiling with OpenJDK 8 is: checking for Java virtual machine... java configure: WARNING: unknown target-version 1.8, please update gt_JAVACOMP macro checking for Java compiler... /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/javac -target 1.1 -source 1.3 The attached debdiff, copied from opensuse and modified to include support for source/target 1.7 and 1.8, fixes this issue. The configure message, with the patch applied, is: checking for Java virtual machine... java configure: WARNING: unknown target-version 9, please update gt_JAVACOMP macro checking for Java compiler... no Please consider applying it to enable the work for transitioning default-jdk from openjdk-8 to openjdk-9. thanks Tiago Daitx
