OpenJDK configure detects WSL2 as WSL1

[evilensky]

I'm not sure where to discuss my issue but it seems that OpenDJK autoconf is detecting WSL2 as WSL1...i don't think this is good behavior since ideally it treats Debian in WSL2 as a Linux...forgive me if I am ignorant why OpenJDK wants to know about WSL1 in the first place...

Google brought me this upstream issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8226521

Can anyone share any tips, can I patch out that detection of WSL2 so that the configure scripts treats my WSL2 distro simply as a a Linux distro?

We have a PR open for this right now: https://github.com/Homebrew/linuxbrew-core/pull/22620.

On a related note, if you are using WSL, I'd strongly recommend using the default prefix of /home/linuxbrew/.linuxbrew for Homebrew since you should have sudo access. This will allow you to use all of our Linux bottles, not just the ones with cellar :any. This would save you the trouble of having to build OpenJDK from source.

Much obliged!

Yes I should probably re install with the default prefix. Maybe when the next Debian is released…
