duke@2 1 README:
ohair@276 2 This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
ohair@276 3 repository. This root repository will include a "make" directory,
ohair@276 4 and a Makefile for building the entire OpenJDK.
ohair@276 5 A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include the following
ohair@276 6 6 nested repositories:
ohair@276 7 "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws" and "jaxp".
ohair@276 8 There are also several source downloads for the jax* repositories that
ohair@276 9 will be needed.
ohair@276 10
ohair@276 11 This one root repository can be obtained with something like:
ohair@276 12 hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7
ohair@276 13 To make sure you have all the nested repositories, you can run:
ohair@276 14 cd openjdk7 && sh ./get_source.sh
ohair@276 15 (This is identical to using the Mercurial Forest Extension command
ohair@276 16 'hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/jdk7 openjdk7').
ohair@276 17 People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
ohair@276 18 the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
duke@2 19
duke@2 20 See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about the OpenJDK.
duke@2 21
duke@2 22 Simple Build Instructions:
ohair@276 23
ohair@276 24 0. Get the necessary system software/packages installed on your system, see
ohair@276 25 http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7/build/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
duke@2 26
ohair@276 27 1. If you don't have a jdk6 installed, download and install a JDK 6 from
duke@2 28 http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
ohair@276 29 Set the environment variable ALT_BOOTDIR to the location of JDK 6.
duke@2 30
ohair@276 31 2. Check the sanity of doing a build with your current system:
ohair@320 32 make sanity
duke@2 33 See README-builds.html if you run into problems.
duke@2 34
ohair@276 35 3. Do a complete build of the OpenJDK:
ohair@320 36 make all
duke@2 37 The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/j2sdk-image
duke@2 38
ohair@320 39 where make is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux usually
ohair@320 40 is 3.81 or newer.
