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

ohair@49 193 These same sources do indeed build on many more systems than the
ohair@49 194 above older generation systems, again the above is just a minimum.
ohair@49 195 <p>
ohair@49 196 Compilation problems with newer or different C/C++ compilers is a
ohair@49 197 common problem.
ohair@49 198 Similarly, compilation problems related to changes to the
ohair@49 199 <tt>/usr/include</tt> or system header files is also a
ohair@49 200 common problem with newer or unreleased OS versions.
ohair@49 201 Please report these types of problems as bugs so that they
ohair@49 202 can be dealt with accordingly.

ohair@13 443 Building the OpenJDK
ohair@13 444 is done with a <tt><i>gmake</i></tt>
ohair@13 445 command line and various
ohair@13 446 environment or make variable settings that direct the make rules
ohair@13 447 to where various components have been installed.
ohair@13 448 Where possible the makefiles will attempt to located the various
ohair@13 449 components in the default locations or any component specific
ohair@13 450 variable settings.
ohair@13 451 When the normal defaults fail or components cannot be found,
ohair@13 452 the various
ohair@13 453 <tt>ALT_*</tt> variables (alternates)
ohair@13 454 can be used to help the makefiles locate components.
ohair@13 455 <p>
ohair@13 456 Refer to the bash/sh/ksh setup file
ohair@13 457 <tt>jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh</tt>
ohair@13 458 if you need help in setting up your environment variables.
ohair@13 459 A build could be as simple as:
ohair@13 460 <blockquote>
ohair@13 461 <pre><tt>
duke@2 462 bash
duke@2 463 . jdk/make/jdk_generic_profile.sh

ohair@13 467 <p>
ohair@13 468 Of course ksh or sh would work too.
ohair@13 469 But some customization will probably be necessary.
ohair@13 470 The <tt>sanity</tt> rule will make some basic checks on build

ohair@13 482 A few notes about using GNU make:
ohair@13 483 <ul>
ohair@13 484 <li>
ohair@13 485 In general, you need GNU make version 3.78.1 or newer.
ohair@13 486 </li>
ohair@13 487 <li>
ohair@13 488 Place the location of the GNU make binary in the <tt>PATH</tt>.
ohair@13 489 </li>
ohair@13 490 <li>
ohair@13 491 <strong>Linux:</strong>
ohair@13 492 The <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> command should work fine for you.
ohair@13 493 </li>
ohair@13 494 <li>
ohair@13 495 <strong>Solaris:</strong>
ohair@13 496 Do NOT use <tt>/usr/bin/make</tt> on Solaris.
ohair@13 497 If your Solaris system has the software
ohair@13 498 from the Solaris Companion CD installed,
ohair@13 499 you should use <tt>gmake</tt>
ohair@13 500 which will be located in either the <tt>/opt/sfw/bin</tt> or
ohair@13 501 <tt>/usr/sfw/bin</tt> directory.
ohair@25 502 In more recent versions of Solaris GNU make can be found
ohair@25 503 at <tt>/usr/bin/gmake</tt>.
ohair@13 504 </li>
ohair@13 505 <li>
ohair@13 506 <strong>Windows:</strong>
ohair@13 507 Make sure you start your build inside a bash/sh/ksh shell.
ohair@13 508 <br>
ohair@13 509 <b>WARNING:</b> Watch out for make version 3.81, it may
ohair@25 510 not work due to a lack of support for MS-DOS drive letter paths
ohair@25 511 like <tt>C:/</tt> or <tt>C:\</tt>.
ohair@13 512 Use a 3.80 version, or find a newer
ohair@49 513 version that has this problem fixed.
ohair@13 514 The older 3.80 version of make.exe can be downloaded with this
ohair@13 515 <a href="http://cygwin.paracoda.com/release/make/make-3.80-1.tar.bz2" target="_blank">
ohair@13 516 link</a>.
ohair@25 517 Use of this older 3.80 make.exe may require that you install the
ohair@25 518 libintl2.dll library or libintl2 cygwin package which is
ohair@25 519 no longer installed by default by the cygwin installer.

ohair@13 524 on this topic.
ohair@25 525 <br>
ohair@25 526 It's hoped that when make 3.82 starts shipping in a future cygwin
ohair@25 527 release that this MS-DOS path issue will be fixed.

ohair@13 702 <blockquote>
duke@2 703 <strong>Windows:</strong>
ohair@13 704 Note that GNU make is a historic utility and is based very
ohair@13 705 heavily on shell scripting, so it does not tolerate the Windows habit
ohair@13 706 of having spaces in pathnames or the use of the <tt>\</tt>characters in pathnames.
ohair@13 707 Luckily on most Windows systems, you can use <tt>/</tt>instead of \, and
ohair@13 708 there is always a 'short' pathname without spaces for any path that
ohair@13 709 contains spaces.
ohair@13 710 Unfortunately, this short pathname can be somewhat dynamic and the
ohair@13 711 formula is difficult to explain.
ohair@13 712 You can use <tt>cygpath</tt> utility to map pathnames with spaces
ohair@13 713 or the <tt>\</tt>character into the <tt>C:/</tt> style of pathname
ohair@13 714 (called 'mixed'), e.g.
ohair@13 715 <tt>cygpath -s -m "<i>path</i>"</tt>.
ohair@13 716 <p>
ohair@13 717 The makefiles will try to translate any pathnames supplied
ohair@13 718 to it into the <tt>C:/</tt> style automatically.
ohair@13 719 <p>
ohair@13 720 Note that use of CYGWIN creates a unique problem with regards to
ohair@13 721 setting <a href="#path"><tt>PATH</tt></a>. Normally on Windows
ohair@13 722 the <tt>PATH</tt> variable contains directories
ohair@13 723 separated with the ";" character (Solaris and Linux uses ":").
ohair@13 724 With CYGWIN, it uses ":", but that means that paths like "C:/path"
ohair@13 725 cannot be placed in the CYGWIN version of <tt>PATH</tt> and
ohair@13 726 instead CYGWIN uses something like <tt>/cygdrive/c/path</tt>
ohair@13 727 which CYGWIN understands, but only CYGWIN understands.
ohair@13 728 So be careful with paths on Windows.

duke@2 784 <blockquote>
ohair@13 785 Depending on the platform, the OpenJDK build process has some basic
ohair@13 786 dependencies on components not part of the OpenJDK sources.
ohair@13 787 Some of these are specific to a platform, some even specific to
ohair@13 788 an architecture.
ohair@13 789 Each dependency will have a set of ALT variables that can be set
ohair@13 790 to tell the makefiles where to locate the component.
ohair@13 791 In most cases setting these ALT variables may not be necessary
ohair@13 792 and the makefiles will find defaults on the system in standard
ohair@13 793 install locations or through component specific variables.

ohair@13 797 All OpenJDK builds require access to the previously released
ohair@13 798 JDK 6, this is often called a bootstrap JDK.
ohair@13 799 The JDK 6 binaries can be downloaded from Sun's
ohair@13 800 <a href="http://java.sun.com/javase/1.6.0/download.html" target="_blank">JDK 6 download site</a>.
ohair@13 801 For build performance reasons
ohair@13 802 is very important that this bootstrap JDK be made available on the
ohair@13 803 local disk of the machine doing the build.
ohair@13 804 You should always set
ohair@13 805 <tt><a href="#ALT_BOOTDIR">ALT_BOOTDIR</a></tt>
ohair@13 806 to point to the location of
ohair@13 807 the bootstrap JDK installation, this is the directory pathname

ohair@13 809 It's also a good idea to also place its <tt>bin</tt> directory
ohair@13 810 in the <tt>PATH</tt> environment variable, although it's
ohair@13 811 not required.
ohair@13 812 <p>

ohair@13 824 under an open-source license.
ohair@13 825 This is a temporary situation and these binary plugs will be
ohair@13 826 replaced with fully open source replacements as soon as possible.
ohair@13 827 So currently, in order to build a complete OpenJDK image,
ohair@13 828 you must first download and install the appropriate
ohair@13 829 binary plug bundles for the OpenJDK, go to the
ohair@13 830 <a href="http://openjdk.java.net" target="_blank">OpenJDK</a> site and select
ohair@49 831 the
ohair@49 832 "<b>Bundles(7)</b>"
ohair@49 833 link and download the binaryplugs for
ohair@13 834 your particular platform.
ohair@13 835 The file downloaded is a jar file that must be extracted by running
ohair@13 836 the jar file with:
ohair@13 837 <blockquote>
ohair@13 838 <pre>
ohair@13 839 <tt><b>java -jar jdk-7-ea-plug-b<i>nn</i>-<i>os</i>-<i>arch</i>-<i>dd</i>_<i>month</i>_<i>year</i>.jar</b></tt>
ohair@13 840 </pre>
ohair@13 841 </blockquote>
ohair@13 842 A prompt will be issued for acceptance of these binary plug files.
ohair@13 843 During the OpenJDK build process these "binary plugs"
ohair@13 844 for the encumbered components will be copied into your
ohair@13 845 resulting OpenJDK binary build image.
ohair@13 846 These binary plug files are only for the purpose of
ohair@13 847 building an OpenJDK binary.
ohair@13 848 Make sure you set
ohair@13 849 <tt><a href="#ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH">ALT_BINARY_PLUGS_PATH</a></tt>

ohair@13 887 The source contain a cacerts file
ohair@13 888 without CA root certificates.
ohair@13 889 Formal JDK builders will need to secure
ohair@13 890 permission from each public CA and include the certificates into their
ohair@13 891 own custom cacerts file.
ohair@13 892 Failure to provide a populated cacerts file

ohair@13 1610 <h2><a name="troubleshooting">Troubleshooting</a></h2>
ohair@13 1611 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1612 A build can fail for any number of reasons.
ohair@13 1613 Most failures
ohair@13 1614 are a result of trying to build in an environment in which all the
ohair@13 1615 pre-build requirements have not been met.
ohair@13 1616 The first step in
ohair@13 1617 troubleshooting a build failure is to recheck that you have satisfied
ohair@13 1618 all the pre-build requirements for your platform.
ohair@13 1619 Look for the check list of the platform you are building on in the
ohair@13 1620 <a href="#contents">Table of Contents</a>.
ohair@13 1621 <p>
ohair@13 1622 You can validate your build environment by using the <tt>sanity</tt>
ohair@13 1623 target.
ohair@13 1624 Any errors listed
ohair@13 1625 will stop the build from starting, and any warnings may result in
ohair@13 1626 a flawed product build.
ohair@13 1627 We strongly encourage you to evaluate every
ohair@13 1628 sanity check warning and fix it if required, before you proceed
ohair@13 1629 further with your build.
ohair@13 1630 <p>
ohair@13 1631 Some of the more common problems with builds are briefly described
ohair@13 1632 below, with suggestions for remedies.
ohair@13 1633 <ul>
ohair@13 1634 <li>
ohair@13 1635 <b>Slow Builds:</b>
ohair@13 1636 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1637 If your build machine seems to be overloaded from too many
ohair@13 1638 simultaneous C++ compiles, try setting the <tt>HOTSPOT_BUILD_JOBS</tt>
ohair@13 1639 variable to <tt>1</tt> (if you're using a multiple CPU
ohair@13 1640 machine, setting it to more than the the number of CPUs is probably
ohair@13 1641 not a good idea).
ohair@13 1642 <p>
ohair@13 1643 Creating the javadocs can be very slow, if you are running
ohair@13 1644 javadoc, consider skipping that step.
ohair@13 1645 <p>
ohair@13 1646 Faster hardware and more RAM always helps too.
ohair@13 1647 The VM build tends to be CPU intensive (many C++ compiles),
ohair@13 1648 and the rest of the JDK will often be disk intensive.
ohair@13 1649 <p>
ohair@13 1650 Faster compiles are possible using a tool called
ohair@13 1651 <a href="http://ccache.samba.org/" target="_blank">ccache</a>.
ohair@13 1652 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1653 </li>
ohair@13 1654 <li>
ohair@13 1655 <b>File time issues:</b>
ohair@13 1656 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1657 If you see warnings that refer to file time stamps, e.g.
ohair@13 1658 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1659 <i>Warning message:</i><tt> File `xxx' has modification time in
ohair@13 1660 the future.</tt>
ohair@13 1661 <br>
ohair@13 1662 <i>Warning message:</i> <tt> Clock skew detected. Your build may
ohair@13 1663 be incomplete.</tt>
ohair@13 1664 </blockquote>
ohair@13 1665 These warnings can occur when the clock on the build machine is out of
ohair@13 1666 sync with the timestamps on the source files. Other errors, apparently
ohair@13 1667 unrelated but in fact caused by the clock skew, can occur along with
ohair@13 1668 the clock skew warnings. These secondary errors may tend to obscure the
ohair@13 1669 fact that the true root cause of the problem is an out-of-sync clock.
ohair@13 1670 For example, an out-of-sync clock has been known to cause an old
ohair@13 1671 version of javac to be used to compile some files, resulting in errors
ohair@13 1672 when the pre-1.4 compiler ran across the new <tt>assert</tt> keyword
ohair@13 1673 in the 1.4 source code.
ohair@13 1674 <p>
ohair@13 1675 If you see these warnings, reset the clock on the build
ohair@13 1676 machine, run "<tt><i>gmake</i> clobber</tt>" or delete the directory
ohair@13 1677 containing the build output, and restart the build from the beginning.

ohair@13 1681 <b>Error message: <tt>Trouble writing out table to disk</tt></b>

ohair@13 1683 Increase the amount of swap space on your build machine.

ohair@13 1686 <li>
ohair@13 1687 <b>Error Message: <tt>libstdc++ not found:</tt></b>
ohair@13 1688 <blockquote>
ohair@13 1689 This is caused by a missing libstdc++.a library.
ohair@13 1690 This is installed as part of a specific package
ohair@13 1691 (e.g. libstdc++.so.devel.386).
ohair@49 1692 By default some 64-bit Linux versions (e.g. Fedora)
ohair@49 1693 only install the 64-bit version of the libstdc++ package.
ohair@13 1694 Various parts of the JDK build require a static
ohair@13 1695 link of the C++ runtime libraries to allow for maximum
ohair@13 1696 portability of the built images.
