ohair@13 101 <blockquote>
ohair@13 102 This file often describes specific requirements for what we call the
ohair@49 103 "minimum build environments" (MBE) for this
ohair@49 104 specific release of the JDK,
ohair@13 105 Building with the MBE will generate the most compatible
ohair@13 106 bits that install on, and run correctly on, the most variations
ohair@13 107 of the same base OS and hardware architecture.
ohair@13 108 These usually represent what is often called the
ohair@13 109 least common denominator platforms.
ohair@13 110 It is understood that most developers will NOT be using these
ohair@13 111 specific platforms, and in fact creating these specific platforms
ohair@13 112 may be difficult due to the age of some of this software.
ohair@13 113 <p>

ohair@49 185 These same sources do indeed build on many more systems than the
ohair@49 186 above older generation systems, again the above is just a minimum.
ohair@49 187 <p>
ohair@49 188 Compilation problems with newer or different C/C++ compilers is a
ohair@49 189 common problem.
ohair@49 190 Similarly, compilation problems related to changes to the
ohair@49 191 <tt>/usr/include</tt> or system header files is also a
ohair@49 192 common problem with newer or unreleased OS versions.
ohair@49 193 Please report these types of problems as bugs so that they
ohair@49 194 can be dealt with accordingly.

ohair@13 435 Building the OpenJDK
ohair@13 436 is done with a <tt><i>gmake</i></tt>
ohair@13 437 command line and various
ohair@13 438 environment or make variable settings that direct the make rules
ohair@13 439 to where various components have been installed.
ohair@13 440 Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various
ohair@13 441 components in the default locations or any component specific
ohair@13 442 variable settings.
ohair@13 443 When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
ohair@13 444 the various
ohair@13 445 <tt>ALT_*</tt> variables (alternates)
ohair@13 446 can be used to help the makefiles locate components.

ohair@13 449 <tt>jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh</tt>
ohair@13 450 if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
ohair@13 451 A build could be as simple as:

ohair@13 460 Of course ksh or sh would work too.

ohair@13 474 A few notes about using GNU make:
ohair@13 475 <ul>
ohair@13 476 <li>
ohair@13 477 In general, you need GNU make version 3.78.1 or newer.
ohair@13 478 </li>
ohair@13 479 <li>
ohair@13 480 Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.

ohair@13 482 <li>
ohair@13 483 <strong>Linux:</strong>
ohair@13 484 The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
ohair@13 485 </li>
ohair@13 486 <li>
ohair@13 487 <strong>Solaris:</strong>
ohair@13 488 Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
ohair@13 489 If your Solaris system has the software
ohair@13 490 from the Solaris Companion CD installed,
ohair@13 491 you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
ohair@13 492 which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or
ohair@13 493 <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
ohair@25 494 In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found
ohair@25 495 at <tt>/usr/bin/gmake</tt>.
ohair@13 496 </li>
ohair@13 497 <li>
ohair@13 498 <strong>Windows:</strong>
ohair@13 499 Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell.
ohair@13 500 <br>
ohair@13 501 <b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may
ohair@25 502 not work due to a lack of support for MS-DOS drive letter paths
ohair@25 503 like <tt>C:/</tt> or <tt>C:\</tt>.
ohair@13 504 Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer
ohair@49 505 version that has this problem fixed.
ohair@13 506 The older 3.80 version of make.exe can be downloaded with this
ohair@13 507 <a href="http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2" target="_blank">

ohair@25 509 Use of this older 3.80 make.exe may require that you install the

ohair@25 517 <br>
ohair@25 518 It's hoped that when make 3.82 starts shipping in a future cygwin

ohair@13 697 <blockquote>
duke@2 698 <strong>Windows:</strong>
ohair@13 699 Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
ohair@13 700 heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
ohair@13 701 of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
ohair@13 702 Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
ohair@13 703 there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that
ohair@13 704 contains spaces.
ohair@13 705 Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
ohair@13 706 formula is difficult to explain.
ohair@13 707 You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
ohair@13 708 or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
ohair@13 709 (called 'mixed'), e.g.
ohair@13 710 <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
ohair@13 711 <p>
ohair@13 712 The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
ohair@13 713 to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
ohair@13 714 <p>
ohair@13 715 Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
ohair@13 716 setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
ohair@13 717 the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
ohair@13 718 separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
ohair@13 719 With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
ohair@13 720 cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and
ohair@13 721 instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
ohair@13 722 which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
ohair@13 723 So be careful with paths on Windows.

ohair@13 782 Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to
ohair@13 783 an architecture.
ohair@13 784 Each dependency will have a set of ALT variables that can be set
ohair@13 785 to tell the makefiles where to locate the component.
ohair@13 786 In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary
ohair@13 787 and the makefiles will find defaults on the system in standard
ohair@13 788 install locations or through component specific variables.

ohair@13 792 All OpenJDK builds require access to the previously released
ohair@13 793 JDK 6, this is often called a bootstrap JDK.
ohair@13 794 The JDK 6 binaries can be downloaded from Sun's
ohair@13 795 <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/1.6.0/download.html" target="_blank">JDK 6 download site</a>.
ohair@13 796 For build performance reasons
ohair@13 797 is very important that this bootstrap JDK be made available on the
ohair@13 798 local disk of the machine doing the build.
ohair@13 799 You should always set
ohair@13 800 <tt><a href="#ALT_BOOTDIR">ALT_BOOTDIR</a></tt>
ohair@13 801 to point to the location of
ohair@13 802 the bootstrap JDK installation, this is the directory pathname

ohair@13 804 It's also a good idea to also place its <tt>bin</tt> directory
ohair@13 805 in the <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable, although it's
ohair@13 806 not required.
ohair@13 807 <p>
ohair@13 808 <strong>Solaris:</strong>
ohair@13 809 Some pre-installed JDK images may be available to you in the

ohair@13 819 under an open-source license.
ohair@13 820 This is a temporary situation and these binary plugs will be
ohair@13 821 replaced with fully open source replacements as soon as possible.
ohair@13 822 So currently, in order to build a complete OpenJDK image,
ohair@13 823 you must first download and install the appropriate
ohair@13 824 binary plug bundles for the OpenJDK, go to the
ohair@13 825 <a href="http://openjdk.java.net" target="_blank">OpenJDK</a> site and select
ohair@49 826 the
ohair@49 827 "<b>Bundles(7)</b>"
ohair@49 828 link and download the binaryplugs for
ohair@13 829 your particular platform.
ohair@13 830 The file downloaded is a jar file that must be extracted by running

ohair@13 832 <blockquote>

ohair@13 835 </pre>
ohair@13 836 </blockquote>
ohair@13 837 A prompt will be issued for acceptance of these binary plug files.
ohair@13 838 During the OpenJDK build process these "binary plugs"
ohair@13 839 for the encumbered components will be copied into your
ohair@13 840 resulting OpenJDK binary build image.
ohair@13 841 These binary plug files are only for the purpose of
ohair@13 842 building an OpenJDK binary.
ohair@13 843 Make sure you set
ohair@13 844 <tt><a href="#ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH">ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH</a></tt>

ohair@13 882 The source contain a cacerts file
ohair@13 883 without CA root certificates.
ohair@13 884 Formal JDK builders will need to secure

ohair@13 887 Failure to provide a populated cacerts file

ohair@13 1165 Note that this is a minimum install that enables
ohair@13 1166 building the JDK platform. To actually use ALSA sound drivers, more
ohair@13 1167 steps are necessary as outlined in the documentation on ALSA's homepage.
ohair@13 1168 <p>
ohair@13 1169 ALSA can be uninstalled by executing <tt>make uninstall</tt> first in
ohair@13 1170 the <tt>alsa-lib-0.9.1</tt> directory and then in
ohair@13 1171 <tt>alsa-driver-0.9.1</tt>.
ohair@13 1172 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1173 There are no ALT* variables to change the assumed locations of ALSA,
ohair@13 1174 the makefiles will expect to find the ALSA include files and library at:
ohair@13 1175 <tt>/usr/include/alsa</tt> and <tt>/usr/lib/libasound.so</tt>.

ohair@13 1626 <h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
ohair@13 1627 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1628 A build can fail for any number of reasons.
ohair@13 1629 Most failures
ohair@13 1630 are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
ohair@13 1631 pre-build requirements have not been met.
ohair@13 1632 The first step in
ohair@13 1633 troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
ohair@13 1634 all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
ohair@13 1635 Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
ohair@13 1636 <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
ohair@13 1637 <p>
ohair@13 1638 You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
ohair@13 1639 target.
ohair@13 1640 Any errors listed
ohair@13 1641 will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
ohair@13 1642 a flawed product build.
ohair@13 1643 We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
ohair@13 1644 sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
ohair@13 1645 further with your build.
ohair@13 1646 <p>
ohair@13 1647 Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
ohair@13 1648 below, with suggestions for remedies.
ohair@13 1649 <ul>
ohair@13 1650 <li>
ohair@13 1651 <b>Slow Builds:</b>
ohair@13 1652 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1653 If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
ohair@13 1654 simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
ohair@13 1655 variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
ohair@13 1656 machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
ohair@13 1657 not a good idea).
ohair@13 1658 <p>
ohair@13 1659 Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
ohair@13 1660 javadoc, consider skipping that step.
ohair@13 1661 <p>
ohair@13 1662 Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
ohair@13 1663 The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
ohair@13 1664 and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
ohair@13 1665 <p>
ohair@13 1666 Faster compiles are possible using a tool called
ohair@13 1667 <a href="http://ccache.samba.org/" target="_blank">ccache</a>.
ohair@13 1668 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1669 </li>
ohair@13 1670 <li>
ohair@13 1671 <b>File time issues:</b>
ohair@13 1672 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1673 If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
ohair@13 1674 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1675 <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
ohair@13 1676 the future.</tt>
ohair@13 1677 <br>
ohair@13 1678 <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may
ohair@13 1679 be incomplete.</tt>
ohair@13 1680 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1681 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
ohair@13 1682 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
ohair@13 1683 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
ohair@13 1684 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
ohair@13 1685 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
ohair@13 1686 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
ohair@13 1687 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
ohair@13 1688 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
ohair@13 1689 in the 1.4 source code.
ohair@13 1690 <p>
ohair@13 1691 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
ohair@13 1692 machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
ohair@13 1693 containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

ohair@13 1697 <b>Error message: <tt>Trouble writing out table to disk</tt></b>

ohair@13 1702 <li>
ohair@13 1703 <b>Error Message: <tt>libstdc++ not found:</tt></b>
ohair@13 1704 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1705 This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
ohair@13 1706 This is installed as part of a specific package
ohair@13 1707 (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
ohair@49 1708 By default some 64-bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
ohair@49 1709 only install the 64-bit version of the libstdc++ package.
ohair@13 1710 Various parts of the JDK build require a static
ohair@13 1711 link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
ohair@13 1712 portability of the built images.
