Motivation:
The jextract branch is currently suffering from upstream compilation
errors.
And we don't need jextract - memaccess+abi is enough.
Modification:
Avoid checking out the jextract branch of panama by default, and instead
explicitly check out the foreign-memaccess+abi branch when we clone the
JDK.
Result:
Our build should now be able to proceed again.
Motivation:
Because of the current dependency on snapshot versions of the Panama Foreign version of OpenJDK 16, this project is fairly involved to build.
Modification:
To make it easier for newcomers to build the binaries for this project, a docker-based build is added.
The docker image is constructed such that it contains a fresh snapshot build of the right fork of Java.
A make file has also been added, which encapsulates the common commands one would use for working with the docker build.
Result:
It is now easy for newcomers to make builds, and run tests, of this project, as long as they have a working docker installation.
