ohair@13 99 <blockquote>
ohair@13 100 This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
ohair@13 101 "minimum build environments" (MBE) for the JDK.
ohair@13 102 Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
ohair@13 103 bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
ohair@13 104 of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
ohair@13 105 These usually represent what is often called the
ohair@13 106 least common denominator platforms.
ohair@13 107 It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these
ohair@13 108 specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
ohair@13 109 may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.
ohair@13 110 <p>

ohair@13 112 OpenJDK:

ohair@13 421 Building the OpenJDK
ohair@13 422 is done with a <tt><i>gmake</i></tt>
ohair@13 423 command line and various
ohair@13 424 environment or make variable settings that direct the make rules
ohair@13 425 to where various components have been installed.
ohair@13 426 Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various
ohair@13 427 components in the default locations or any component specific
ohair@13 428 variable settings.
ohair@13 429 When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
ohair@13 430 the various
ohair@13 431 <tt>ALT_*</tt> variables (alternates)
ohair@13 432 can be used to help the makefiles locate components.

ohair@13 435 <tt>jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh</tt>
ohair@13 436 if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
ohair@13 437 A build could be as simple as:
ohair@13 438 <blockquote>
ohair@13 439 <pre><tt>
duke@2 440 bash
duke@2 441 . jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh

ohair@13 445 <p>
ohair@13 446 Of course ksh or sh would work too.
ohair@13 447 But some customization will probably be necessary.
ohair@13 448 The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build

ohair@13 460 A few notes about using GNU make:
ohair@13 461 <ul>
ohair@13 462 <li>
ohair@13 463 In general, you need GNU make version 3.78.1 or newer.
ohair@13 464 </li>
ohair@13 465 <li>
ohair@13 466 Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.
ohair@13 467 </li>
ohair@13 468 <li>
ohair@13 469 <strong>Linux:</strong>
ohair@13 470 The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
ohair@13 471 </li>
ohair@13 472 <li>
ohair@13 473 <strong>Solaris:</strong>
ohair@13 474 Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
ohair@13 475 If your Solaris system has the software
ohair@13 476 from the Solaris Companion CD installed,
ohair@13 477 you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
ohair@13 478 which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or
ohair@13 479 <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
ohair@25 480 In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found
ohair@25 481 at <tt>/usr/bin/gmake</tt>.
ohair@13 482 </li>
ohair@13 483 <li>
ohair@13 484 <strong>Windows:</strong>
ohair@13 485 Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell.
ohair@13 486 <br>
ohair@13 487 <b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may
ohair@25 488 not work due to a lack of support for MS-DOS drive letter paths
ohair@25 489 like <tt>C:/</tt> or <tt>C:\</tt>.
ohair@13 490 Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer
ohair@25 491 version that has this problem fixed, like 3.82.
ohair@13 492 The older 3.80 version of make.exe can be downloaded with this

ohair@13 494 link</a>.
ohair@25 495 Use of this older 3.80 make.exe may require that you install the

ohair@25 503 <br>
ohair@25 504 It's hoped that when make 3.82 starts shipping in a future cygwin

ohair@13 670 <blockquote>
duke@2 671 <strong>Windows:</strong>
ohair@13 672 Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
ohair@13 673 heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
ohair@13 674 of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
ohair@13 675 Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
ohair@13 676 there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that
ohair@13 677 contains spaces.
ohair@13 678 Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
ohair@13 679 formula is difficult to explain.
ohair@13 680 You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
ohair@13 681 or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
ohair@13 682 (called 'mixed'), e.g.
ohair@13 683 <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
ohair@13 684 <p>
ohair@13 685 The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
ohair@13 686 to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
ohair@13 687 <p>
ohair@13 688 Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
ohair@13 689 setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
ohair@13 690 the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
ohair@13 691 separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
ohair@13 692 With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
ohair@13 693 cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and
ohair@13 694 instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
ohair@13 695 which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
ohair@13 696 So be careful with paths on Windows.

ohair@13 746 Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to

ohair@13 750 In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary

ohair@13 784 This is a temporary situation and these binary plugs will be

ohair@13 786 So currently, in order to build a complete OpenJDK image,

ohair@13 799 A prompt will be issued for acceptance of these binary plug files.
ohair@13 800 During the OpenJDK build process these "binary plugs"

ohair@13 803 These binary plug files are only for the purpose of

ohair@25 1529 <tt>"%SYSTEMDRIVE%/MKSNT"</tt> or
ohair@25 1530 <tt>$(ROOTDIR)</tt> on Windows with MKS, otherwise it's
ohair@25 1531 <tt>"/bin"</tt> or <tt>/usr/bin</tt>.
ohair@25 1532 </dd>
ohair@25 1533 <dt><a name="ALT_USRBIN_PATH"><tt>ALT_USRBIN_PATH</tt></a></dt>
ohair@25 1534 <dd>
ohair@25 1535 An override for specifying where the
ohair@25 1536 Unix <tt>/usr/bin</tt> commands are located. You usually do not need
ohair@25 1537 to set this variable: the default location is <tt>/usr/bin</tt>)
ohair@25 1538 </dd>
ohair@25 1539 <dt><a name="ANT_HOME"><tt>ANT_HOME</tt></a></dt>
ohair@25 1540 <dd>
ohair@25 1541 The location of the Ant installation.
ohair@25 1542 See <a href="#ant">Ant</a> for more information.
ohair@25 1543 You should always set <tt>ANT_HOME</tt> explicitly.
ohair@25 1544 </dd>
ohair@25 1545 <dt><a name="arch_data_model"><tt>ARCH_DATA_MODEL</tt></a></dt>
ohair@25 1546 <dd>The <tt>ARCH_DATA_MODEL</tt> variable
ohair@25 1547 is used to specify whether the build is to generate 32-bit or 64-bit
ohair@25 1548 binaries.
ohair@25 1549 The Solaris build supports either 32-bit or 64-bit builds, but
ohair@25 1550 Windows and Linux will support only one, depending on the specific
ohair@25 1551 OS being used.
ohair@25 1552 Normally, setting this variable is only necessary on Solaris.
ohair@25 1553 Set <tt>ARCH_DATA_MODEL</tt> to <tt>32</tt> for generating 32-bit binaries,
ohair@25 1554 or to <tt>64</tt> for generating 64-bit binaries.
ohair@25 1555 </dd>
ohair@25 1556 <dt><tt>BUILD_NUMBER</tt> </dt>
ohair@25 1557 <dd>
ohair@25 1558 The build number for the build (<i>e.g.</i> "b27").
ohair@25 1559 The default value is "b00".
ohair@25 1560 </dd>
ohair@25 1561 <dt><tt>MILESTONE</tt> </dt>
ohair@25 1562 <dd>
ohair@25 1563 The milestone name for the build (<i>e.g.</i>"beta").
ohair@25 1564 The default value is "internal".
ohair@25 1565 </dd>
ohair@25 1566 <dt><a name="path"><tt>PATH</tt></a> </dt>
ohair@25 1567 <dd>Typically you want to set the <tt>PATH</tt> to include:
ohair@25 1568 <ul>
ohair@25 1569 <li>The location of the GNU make binary</li>
ohair@25 1570 <li>The location of the Bootstrap JDK <tt>java</tt>
ohair@25 1571 (see <a href="#bootjdk">Bootstrap JDK</a>)</li>
ohair@25 1572 <li>The location of the C/C++ compilers
ohair@25 1573 (see <a href="#compilers"><tt>compilers</tt></a>)</li>
ohair@25 1574 <li>The location or locations for the Unix command utilities

ohair@13 1583 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1584 A build can fail for any number of reasons.
ohair@13 1585 Most failures
ohair@13 1586 are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
ohair@13 1587 pre-build requirements have not been met.
ohair@13 1588 The first step in
ohair@13 1589 troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
ohair@13 1590 all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
ohair@13 1591 Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
ohair@13 1592 <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
ohair@13 1593 <p>
ohair@13 1594 You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
ohair@13 1595 target.
ohair@13 1596 Any errors listed
ohair@13 1597 will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
ohair@13 1598 a flawed product build.
ohair@13 1599 We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
ohair@13 1600 sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
ohair@13 1601 further with your build.
ohair@13 1602 <p>
ohair@13 1603 Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
ohair@13 1604 below, with suggestions for remedies.
ohair@13 1605 <ul>
ohair@13 1606 <li>
ohair@13 1607 <b>Slow Builds:</b>
ohair@13 1608 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1609 If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
ohair@13 1610 simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
ohair@13 1611 variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
ohair@13 1612 machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
ohair@13 1613 not a good idea).
ohair@13 1614 <p>
ohair@13 1615 Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
ohair@13 1616 javadoc, consider skipping that step.
ohair@13 1617 <p>
ohair@13 1618 Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
ohair@13 1619 The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
ohair@13 1620 and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
ohair@13 1621 <p>
ohair@13 1622 Faster compiles are possible using a tool called
ohair@13 1623 <a href="http://ccache.samba.org/" target="_blank">ccache</a>.

ohair@13 1626 <li>
ohair@13 1627 <b>File time issues:</b>
ohair@13 1628 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1629 If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
ohair@13 1630 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1631 <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
ohair@13 1632 the future.</tt>
ohair@13 1633 <br>
ohair@13 1634 <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may
ohair@13 1635 be incomplete.</tt>
ohair@13 1636 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1637 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
ohair@13 1638 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
ohair@13 1639 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
ohair@13 1640 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
ohair@13 1641 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
ohair@13 1642 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
ohair@13 1643 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
ohair@13 1644 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
ohair@13 1645 in the 1.4 source code.
ohair@13 1646 <p>
ohair@13 1647 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
ohair@13 1648 machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
ohair@13 1649 containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

ohair@13 1659 <b>Error Message: <tt>libstdc++ not found:</tt></b>
ohair@13 1660 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1661 This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
ohair@13 1662 This is installed as part of a specific package
ohair@13 1663 (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
ohair@13 1664 By default some 64bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
ohair@13 1665 only install the 64bit version of the libstdc++ package.
ohair@13 1666 Various parts of the JDK build require a static
ohair@13 1667 link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
ohair@13 1668 portability of the built images.
