Reviewed-by: tbell

     1 README:
     2   This file should be located at the top of the OpenJDK Mercurial root
     3   repository. A full OpenJDK repository set (forest) should also include
     4   the following 6 nested repositories:
     5     "jdk", "hotspot", "langtools", "corba", "jaxws"  and "jaxp".
     7   The root repository can be obtained with something like:
     8     hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8 openjdk8
    10   You can run the get_source.sh script located in the root repository to get
    11   the other needed repositories:
    12     cd openjdk8 && sh ./get_source.sh
    14   People unfamiliar with Mercurial should read the first few chapters of
    15   the Mercurial book: http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/
    17   See http://openjdk.java.net/ for more information about OpenJDK.
    19 Simple Build Instructions:
    21   0. Get the necessary system software/packages installed on your system, see
    22      http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/jdk8/raw-file/tip/README-builds.html
    24   1. If you don't have a jdk7u7 or newer jdk, download and install it from
    25      http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
    26      Add the /bin directory of this installation to your PATH environment
    27      variable.
    29   2. Configure the build:
    30        bash ./configure
    32   3. Build the OpenJDK:
    33        make all
    34      The resulting JDK image should be found in build/*/images/j2sdk-image
    36 where make is GNU make 3.81 or newer, /usr/bin/make on Linux usually
    37 is 3.81 or newer. Note that on Solaris, GNU make is called "gmake".
