ohair@13 96 <blockquote>
ohair@13 97 This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
ohair@13 98 "minimum build environments" (MBE) for the JDK.
ohair@13 99 Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
ohair@13 100 bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
ohair@13 101 of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
ohair@13 102 These usually represent what is often called the
ohair@13 103 least common denominator platforms.
ohair@13 104 It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these
ohair@13 105 specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
ohair@13 106 may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.
ohair@13 107 <p>

ohair@13 109 OpenJDK:

ohair@13 373 Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various
ohair@13 374 components in the default locations or any component specific
ohair@13 375 variable settings.
ohair@13 376 When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
ohair@13 377 the various
ohair@13 378 <tt>ALT_*</tt> variables (alternates)
ohair@13 379 can be used to help the makefiles locate components.
ohair@13 380 <p>
ohair@13 381 Refer to the bash/sh/ksh setup file
ohair@13 382 <tt>jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh</tt>
ohair@13 383 if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
ohair@13 384 A build could be as simple as:
ohair@13 385 <blockquote>
ohair@13 386 <pre><tt>
duke@2 387 bash
duke@2 388 . jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh
duke@2 389 <i>gmake</i> sanity &amp;&amp; <i>gmake</i>
ohair@13 390 </tt></pre>
ohair@13 391 </blockquote>
ohair@13 392 <p>
ohair@13 393 Of course ksh or sh would work too.
ohair@13 394 But some customization will probably be necessary.
ohair@13 395 The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build
ohair@13 396 dependencies and generate appropriate warning messages
ohair@13 397 regarding missing, out of date, or newer than expected components
ohair@13 398 found on your system.

ohair@13 594 <blockquote>
duke@2 595 <strong>Windows:</strong>
ohair@13 596 Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
ohair@13 597 heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
ohair@13 598 of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
ohair@13 599 Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
ohair@13 600 there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that
ohair@13 601 contains spaces.
ohair@13 602 Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
ohair@13 603 formula is difficult to explain.
ohair@13 604 You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
ohair@13 605 or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
ohair@13 606 (called 'mixed'), e.g.
ohair@13 607 <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
ohair@13 608 <p>
ohair@13 609 The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
ohair@13 610 to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
ohair@13 611 <p>
ohair@13 612 Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
ohair@13 613 setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
ohair@13 614 the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
ohair@13 615 separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
ohair@13 616 With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
ohair@13 617 cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and
ohair@13 618 instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
ohair@13 619 which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
ohair@13 620 So be careful with paths on Windows.

ohair@13 679 For build performance reasons
ohair@13 680 is very important that this bootstrap JDK be made available on the

ohair@13 1176 Note that ARCH_DATA_MODEL is really only needed on Solaris to
ohair@13 1177 indicate you want to built the 64-bit version.
ohair@13 1178 And before the Solaris 64-bit binaries can be used, they
ohair@13 1179 must be merged with the binaries from a separate 32-bit build.
ohair@13 1180 The merged binaries may then be used in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode, with
ohair@13 1181 the selection occurring at runtime
ohair@13 1182 with the <tt>-d32</tt> or <tt>-d64</tt> options.

ohair@13 1443 <h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
ohair@13 1444 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1445 A build can fail for any number of reasons.
ohair@13 1446 Most failures
ohair@13 1447 are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
ohair@13 1448 pre-build requirements have not been met.
ohair@13 1449 The first step in
ohair@13 1450 troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
ohair@13 1451 all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
ohair@13 1452 Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
ohair@13 1453 <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
ohair@13 1454 <p>
ohair@13 1455 You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
ohair@13 1456 target.
ohair@13 1457 Any errors listed
ohair@13 1458 will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
ohair@13 1459 a flawed product build.
ohair@13 1460 We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
ohair@13 1461 sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
ohair@13 1462 further with your build.
ohair@13 1463 <p>
ohair@13 1464 Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
ohair@13 1465 below, with suggestions for remedies.
ohair@13 1466 <ul>
ohair@13 1467 <li>
ohair@13 1468 <b>Slow Builds:</b>
ohair@13 1469 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1470 If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
ohair@13 1471 simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
ohair@13 1472 variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
ohair@13 1473 machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
ohair@13 1474 not a good idea).
ohair@13 1475 <p>
ohair@13 1476 Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
ohair@13 1477 javadoc, consider skipping that step.
ohair@13 1478 <p>
ohair@13 1479 Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
ohair@13 1480 The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
ohair@13 1481 and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
ohair@13 1482 <p>
ohair@13 1483 Faster compiles are possible using a tool called
ohair@13 1484 <a href="http://ccache.samba.org/" target="_blank">ccache</a>.
ohair@13 1485 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1486 </li>
ohair@13 1487 <li>
ohair@13 1488 <b>File time issues:</b>
ohair@13 1489 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1490 If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
ohair@13 1491 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1492 <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
ohair@13 1493 the future.</tt>
ohair@13 1494 <br>
ohair@13 1495 <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may
ohair@13 1496 be incomplete.</tt>
ohair@13 1497 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1498 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
ohair@13 1499 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
ohair@13 1500 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
ohair@13 1501 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
ohair@13 1502 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
ohair@13 1503 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
ohair@13 1504 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
ohair@13 1505 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
ohair@13 1506 in the 1.4 source code.
ohair@13 1507 <p>
ohair@13 1508 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
ohair@13 1509 machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
ohair@13 1510 containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

ohair@13 1522 This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
ohair@13 1523 This is installed as part of a specific package
ohair@13 1524 (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
ohair@13 1525 By default some 64bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
ohair@13 1526 only install the 64bit version of the libstdc++ package.
ohair@13 1527 Various parts of the JDK build require a static
ohair@13 1528 link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
ohair@13 1529 portability of the built images.
