[General] Harmony JVM support of 64 bit Windows Server 2008/2008R2

[[My apologies if this is the wrong mailing list - I was directed here and
hope this is appropriate]

I am trying to understand the level of support Harmony's JVM has for Windows
2008/2008R2
and for 64 bit support of Windows.

On 64 bit Windows Server 2008 R2 and with Harmony 5.0M11 after setting the
JAVA_HOME and PATH
variables I tried doing a java -version :
--------------------------------------------------------------
C:\Users\Administrator.PERF06>java -version
Windows 6.1 is not supported
HMYEXEL062E Internal VM error: Failed to create Java VM
FAILED to invoke JVM.
---------------------------------------------------------------

So I'm trying to figure out if I did something wrong, if there is a patch I
need
and generally I'm trying to understand the following :
  - is Harmony going to have more versions of JVM for Windows (64 bit)
  - is the existing Windows 32 bit release work with Windows Server 2008 and

    Windows Server 2008 R2 (64 bit)  ? if so where do I get it ?
  - is there a 6.0 release of Harmony ?
  - i have seen references to 5.0M12 but it does not seem to be on Harmony's
    download area - is it available ?

thanks and apologies if this is the wrong alias.

Thanks, please let Gavin know over on the builds@ list.  Once we get a
critical mass of people willing to tend the build machine then we can
get going.

[build] Windows builds (was: Re: [General] Harmony JVM support of 64 bit Windows Server 2008/2008R2)

Posted by Tim Ellison <t....@gmail.com>.
There is a discussion on builds@a.o about setting up a Windows build
machine as part of the ASF infrastructure.

Looks like there is a good possibility provided there are enough people
to help administer it for everyone.

Not sure what the criteria are (committer?) but I think it would be
useful for Harmony to have public Windows builds on Hudson too, so
please consider helping.

Tim

Exactly.  So Charles, if you have such a machine please try compiling
from source and report back on any problems.  There is no inherent
objection to that platform, just practicalities getting in the way.
You'll find a bunch of people happy to help resolve the issues.

If I can find a Windows 64-bit machine with Windows Server 2008 I'll
have a go.

The lack of a Windows 64-bit build is mostly due to the lack of any
contributors with a 64-bit Windows machine and a version of
VisualStudio to perform the compiles.

All Hudson builds are Linux - there aren't any Windows build machines available.

Thanks, Nathan. I still don't see a 64 bit Windows Harmony JVM
in the site Downloads section.  [comments embedded]

Running on Dual AMD Opteron Quad-Core (2.30 Ghz) system.

I looked at  the Harmony downloads site and I only find under
Stable Builds,   ( JRE, JDK, HDK) :
  Apache Harmony 5.0M11 JRE for 32 bit

under Snapshot Builds for Harmony 5.0 - it takes me to the Linux  
builds ... I tried
going up a level to the Hudson builds and its all Linux.

same with the snapshot builds for Harmony 5.0.

I can't seem to find the 64 bit Windows version of Harmony in any of  
the Download location.

Could be that.  I will also double check it on a different machine  
with slower CPUs.

I think some of the compiles for Windows are already 64-bit, at least
for x86_64. I can't recall if Itanium is workable.

This is probably just a matter of getting the OS version level check
to allow Windows Server 2008. No one has asked/complained yet ... feel
free submit a patch.
