How to compile OpenJDK with OpenJ9 on Linux without a NUMA error?

Hello Stackoverflowers!
I am trying to build the OpenJDK with OpenJ9 on Linux, but when I run the configure script, I get the error:

configure: error: Could not find numa! 

Normally it should have just created the config and let me build, because I don’t have multiple CPUs.

I have already googled the error message and looked trough and followed the documentation on the projects Github(https://github.com/ibmruntimes/openj9-openjdk-jdk17/blob/openj9/doc/building.md and https://github.com/eclipse-openj9/openj9/blob/master/doc/build-instructions/Build_Instructions_V17.md).

Here is the command I used:

bash configure --with-boot-jdk=/home/USER/bootjdk16

Here is the complete output if needed:

Answer

It looks like I didn’t install the package “numactl” for some reason.

Just double check if you have those packages installed with (On Archbased)

sudo pacman -Q  numactl

(On Debainbased)

sudo dpkg -l numactl-devel
