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

 	    These same sources do indeed build on many more systems than the
 	    above older generation systems, again the above is just a minimum.
 	    <p>
 	    Compilation problems with newer or different C/C++ compilers is a
 	    common problem.
 	    Similarly, compilation problems related to changes to the
 	    <tt>/usr/include</tt> or system header files is also a
 	    common problem with newer or unreleased OS versions.
 	    Please report these types of problems as bugs so that they
 	    can be dealt with accordingly.

         <blockquote>
             Building the OpenJDK
             is done with a <tt><i>gmake</i></tt>
             command line and various
             environment or make variable settings that direct the make rules
             to where various components have been installed.
             Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various
             components in the default locations or any component specific
             variable settings.
             When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
             the various
             <tt>ALT_*</tt> variables (alternates)
             can be used to help the makefiles locate components.
             <p>
             Refer to the bash/sh/ksh setup file
             <tt>jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh</tt>
             if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
             A build could be as simple as:
             <blockquote>
                 <pre><tt>
                 bash
                 . jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh
                 <i>gmake</i> sanity &amp;&amp; <i>gmake</i>
                 </tt></pre>
             </blockquote>
             <p>
             Of course ksh or sh would work too.
             But some customization will probably be necessary.
             The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build
             dependencies and generate appropriate warning messages
             regarding missing, out of date, or newer than expected components
             found on your system.

         <blockquote>
             The Makefiles in the OpenJDK are only valid when used with the
             GNU version of the utility command <tt>make</tt>
             (<tt><i>gmake</i></tt>).
             A few notes about using GNU make:
             <ul>
                 <li>
                     In general, you need GNU make version 3.78.1 or newer.
                 </li>
                 <li>
                     Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.
                 </li>
                 <li>
                     <strong>Linux:</strong>
                     The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
                 </li>
                 <li>
                     <strong>Solaris:</strong>
                     Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
                     If your Solaris system has the software
                     from the Solaris Companion CD installed,
                     you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
                     which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or
                     <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
                     In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found
                     at <tt>/usr/bin/gmake</tt>.
                 </li>
                 <li>
                     <strong>Windows:</strong>
                     Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell.
                     <br>
                     <b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may
                     not work due to a lack of support for MS-DOS drive letter paths
                     like <tt>C:/</tt> or <tt>C:\</tt>.
                     Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer
                     version that has this problem fixed.
                     The older 3.80 version of make.exe can be downloaded with this
                     <a href="http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2" target="_blank">
                     link</a>.
                     Use of this older 3.80 make.exe may require that you install the
                     libintl2.dll library or libintl2 cygwin package which is
                     no longer installed by default by the cygwin installer.

                     mozilla developer center</a>
                     on this topic.
                     <br>
                     It's hoped that when make 3.82 starts shipping in a future cygwin
                     release that this MS-DOS path issue will be fixed.
                     In addition to the above 3.80 make.exe you can download
                     this

         <h4><a name="paths">Windows Paths</a></h4>
         <blockquote>
             <strong>Windows:</strong>
             Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
             heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
             of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
             Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
             there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that
             contains spaces.
             Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
             formula is difficult to explain.
             You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
             or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
             (called 'mixed'), e.g.
             <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
             <p>
             The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
             to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
             <p>
             Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
             setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
             the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
             separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
             With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
             cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version  of <tt>PATH</tt> and
             instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
             which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
             So be careful with paths on Windows.

             Depending on the platform, the OpenJDK build process has some basic

             Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to
             an architecture.
             Each dependency will have a set of ALT variables that can be set

             In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary
             and the makefiles will find defaults on the system in standard
             install locations or through component specific variables.

                 replaced with fully open source replacements as soon as possible.
                 So currently, in order to build a complete OpenJDK image,

                 link and download the binaryplugs for
                 your particular platform.
                 The file downloaded is a jar file that must be extracted by running

                 A prompt will be issued for acceptance of these binary plug files.

                 A certificates file named "cacerts"
                 represents a system-wide keystore with CA certificates.
                 In JDK and JRE
                 binary bundles, the "cacerts" file contains root CA certificates from
                 several public CAs (e.g., VeriSign, Thawte, and Baltimore).
                 The source contain a cacerts file
                 without CA root certificates.
                 Formal JDK builders will need to secure
                 permission from each public CA and include the certificates into their
                 own custom cacerts file.
                 Failure to provide a populated cacerts file
                 will result in verification errors of a certificate chain during runtime.

                 cacerts file that will get placed in your build.
                 By default an empty cacerts file is provided and that should be

                 Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Site</a> and build it from
                 source.

                     As root, execute the following
                     commands (you may need to adapt the version number):
                     <pre>

                     Should one of the above steps fail, refer to the documentation on

                 Note that this is a minimum install that enables
                 building the JDK platform. To actually use ALSA sound drivers, more
                 steps are necessary as outlined in the documentation on ALSA's homepage.
                 <p>
                 ALSA can be uninstalled by executing <tt>make uninstall</tt> first in
                 the <tt>alsa-lib-0.9.1</tt> directory and then in
                 <tt>alsa-driver-0.9.1</tt>.
             </blockquote>
             There are no ALT* variables to change the assumed locations of ALSA,
             the makefiles will expect to find the ALSA include files and library at:
             <tt>/usr/include/alsa</tt> and <tt>/usr/lib/libasound.so</tt>.

             <blockquote>
                 The OpenJDK requires access to a set of unix command tools
                 on Windows which can be supplied by
                 <a href="http://www.cygwin.com" target="_blank">CYGWIN</a>.
                 <p>
                 The OpenJDK build requires CYGWIN version 1.5.12 or newer.
                 Information about CYGWIN can
                 be obtained from the CYGWIN website at

                 <p>
                 By default CYGWIN doesn't install all the tools required for building
                 the OpenJDK.
                 Along with the default installation, you need to install
                 the following tools.

         Some of the
         environment or make variables (just called <b>variables</b> in this
         document) that can impact the build are:
         <blockquote>
             <dl>
                 <dt><a name="path"><tt>PATH</tt></a> </dt>
                 <dd>Typically you want to set the <tt>PATH</tt> to include:
                     <ul>

                     The milestone name for the build (<i>e.g.</i>"beta").

                 <dd>The <tt>ARCH_DATA_MODEL</tt> variable

                     binaries.
                     The Solaris build supports either 32-bit or 64-bit builds, but
                     Windows and Linux will support only one, depending on the specific
                     OS being used.
                     Normally, setting this variable is only necessary on Solaris.
                     Set <tt>ARCH_DATA_MODEL</tt> to <tt>32</tt> for generating 32-bit binaries,
                     or to <tt>64</tt> for generating 64-bit binaries.

         <blockquote>
             A build can fail for any number of reasons.
             Most failures
             are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
             pre-build requirements have not been met.
             The first step in
             troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
             all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
             Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
             <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
             <p>
             You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
             target.
             Any errors listed
             will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
             a flawed product build.
             We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
             sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
             further with your build.
             <p>
             Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
             below, with suggestions for remedies.
             <ul>
                 <li>
                     <b>Slow Builds:</b>
                     <blockquote>
                         If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
                         simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
                         variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
                         machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
                         not a good idea).
                         <p>
                         Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
                         javadoc, consider skipping that step.
                         <p>
                         Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
                         The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
                         and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
                         <p>
                         Faster compiles are possible using a tool called

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

                     <blockquote>
                         This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
                         This is installed as part of a specific package
                         (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
                         By default some 64-bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
                         only install the 64-bit version of the libstdc++ package.
                         Various parts of the JDK build require a static
                         link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
                         portability of the built images.

                         This is probably an issue with SELinux (See

                         http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELinux</a>).

                         <p>
                         To completely disable SELinux:

                         Alternatively, instead of completely disabling it you could
                         disable just this one check.
